Do you know someone in this situation? OR perhaps encountered it yourself?
Most of the times, security doesn’t figure out in discussion before, because site owner, just getting started with building an audience, thinks, “He/she is not important enough” to hack.
OR maybe they followed hardening instructions word-by-word and were still hacked!
(Trust me he did that, and was still hacked)
