Google have been pushing the HTTPS agenda for a few years now –. If your WordPress is still running on HTTP, when you login to WordPress and access the dashboard or admin pages, all data is sent in clear text.
This means that your WordPress credentials are also sent over the internet in clear text.Therefore the risks of having your WordPress username and password stolen are very high. This post explains how malicious hackers can steal your WordPress login details using free software. It also recommends what you can do to protect your website from such attacks and how to to spot suspicious behaviour early.
How to steal WordPress credentials (Usernames and Passwords) Routing of Clear Text Data Over the InternetWhen you access a website or your WordPress, the data is not sent directly from your computer browser to the web server. It is routed through several devices on the internet which are administered by different entities (ISPs, web hosts etc).Depending on the geographical location of your computer and WordPress website, your login details might be routed through 5 to 20, or more devices before it reaches the destination. And since such data is sent in clear text, should a malicious hacker tap into one of these devices, which could be your own home router, they can easily retrieve your WordPress username or password.
Hi there,Here is a practical example; Cisco just released a patch for a remote code execution vulnerability which was discovered in a number of Residential wireless routers and modems models;.If such vulnerability is exploited the attacker can execute code remotely, which means he can trigger a download, an installation of a sniffer and control it. The question is how many home users do you think will upgrade their modem’s or router’s firmware? As history taught us, very few. This means that all these devices connected to the internet can be exploited and controlled. So if a WordPress owner uses such device at home to update his WordPress (which is a common occurrence) the risks of having is WordPress site hacked are very high.Trust this answers your question.
