    One of the most important security tips is to use BETTER PASSWORDS.

    This means for wordpress, ftp and email.

    A single word is very poor and will NOT withstand a dictionary attack. (for those that do not know what that is, a program will take a login and throw a dictionary at it's password field)

    If an affiliate program is not small affiliate friendly (especially small US Affiliate), then they are NOT Affiliate Friendly!

    There are so many of these type of security 'holes' in wordpress that I could spend all day just gathering links to articles like that one.

    I know a lot of folks like and use WP. But I sure would not use it, at least for a site I wanted to make money with.
    But then again that is just me.

    The wp plug in better security does use a different url to login... but it childs play to figure out what it is.
    Your link refers to a third party WordPress plugin. Most experienced webmasters know that if you use untrusted third party plugins you are opening your site up to being hacked.

    All my sites are WordPress powered and I make a decent living off most of them.

    It is a pure spam... Some of the fake SEO companies use this technique to share fake reports with their customers. And one of them may did the test with you

    All the best!
