Cautionary tale.
John is a great guy and puts out lots of free info about Wordpress security.
I bought his ebook and would recommend it to anyone - techie or non techie.
John presents complex info in an easy to understand format.
And, his updates are brilliant - he does the hard work, we reap the benefit.

Rebuild the website - nightmare!
These hackers are bright guys but they are only interested in their own ends.

The average wordpress user has no idea about all this stuff thanks for spreading the message.

BTW - great interview.
Both of you guys sound relaxed and it comes across - even a bit of humour.

Thanks Ray. Yes, it's unfortunate that many people will hear how this is a problem and yet do nothing about it until after it's happened.

And thanks for your kind words. I put a lot of time and effort into researching and creating this.
