> There is a long-standing security recommendation to change WordPress's default database table prefix to a random one. For example, wp_users becomes wp_8df7b8_users. This is often dismissed as "worthless" because it is security through obscurity.
I found that just changing the default URL for the wordpress login from the usual wp-admin to anything reduces by several orders of magnitude the number of scripts that try your site for the most common vulnerabilities---something that happens constantly for any site on the web, once a minute or so.
What a disgusting company; pushing Malware onto naive users and making their web experience bad. I won't miss them.
I knew it wasn't identity theft. We got a notice a week later that the charge had been reversed; we never bothered with a police report, we just cancelled the card. It had been flagged as suspicious by the bank when it was initially processed, but I'm not sure what was wrong. Perhaps one factor, like expiration date or zip code wasn't right.
I have a feeling it was stolen with some scheme like this where people just guess numbers by some algorithm.
