I updated my ebook over the weekend by adding a couple more chapters and feedback received from previous readers.
In every wordpress release of the software, functionality is added to better secure it.
However there are steps you need to take in order for your installation to be more secure. Steps as tightening permissions, naming database tables, or even installing plugins that better secures your site.
Please note that Fantastico doesn’t do all of this for you and leaves your site vulnerable.
