But unlike others I&#8217;ll be focusing on what I consider to be the most prevalent hacks impacting WordPress users and giving guidance how to detect and remove and apply hardening that matters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is your target audience?<\/strong><br \/>\nAny one that manages their own website. Developers are end-uses the same as every day end-users, so I would say that if you own a website you&#8217;d be interested. More if I had to define a target, it&#8217;d be someone that has been infected with some malware, has faced Google&#8217;s wrath via the RED screen of death or just plain ole paranoid about infections.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do hope WordCampers will get out of your session?<\/strong><br \/>\nRespect. I don&#8217;t plan to scare, but I do plan to place emphasis on the importance of security and its impacts to the site owner. So in turn, a little respect for security won&#8217;t kill anyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite plugin?<\/strong><br \/>\nSucuri Premium plugin ofcourse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a WP hero?<\/strong><br \/>\nIsn&#8217;t Nacin everyone&#8217;s hero?
