InsyaAllah, I alongside Ananda Dhakal will present a little-but-interesting automation from Patchstack internal security team to assist us on detecting possible critical vulnerability in plugin/theme, shortly after the code is pushed. See you in Australia 🙌

What has been the main driver for you to attend flagship WordCamps (WCEU/WCUS/WCASIA)?

Pretty interesting results so far! If we get 100+ people to respond to the poll I’ll write an article about some thoughts I have about WordCamps 🙂

Agencies: maintaining WordPress sites at scale ≠ doing everything manually. ✅ Auto-patch known vulnerabilities ✅ Deploy virtual patches for unfixed ones ✅ Enforce 2FA, restrict admin access ✅ Use managed hosting w/ backups & malware scans oliversild.com/how-to-automat…

Some plugin devs still try to hide security fixes. That’s no longer an option. 🔓 EU’s Cyber Resilience Act = mandatory disclosure 🚨 Silent patches put users at risk ✅ Transparency builds trust — and wins users oliversild.com/wordpress-plug…

‼️ Multiple critical security vulnerabilities patched in WP Job Portal plugin. Make sure the plugin is updated to at least version 2.3.3! patchstack.com/articles/multi…

You must be completely blind believing that Russia does not want to re-occupy the entire eastern Europe. If we don't stop them at Ukraine, they will come! Lavrov literally wears USSR shirt...

Trump got played

“My site’s too small to get hacked.” Nope. Bots don’t care. They want traffic, data, or your server. Most attacks are random and automated, but they still cause harm. oliversild.com/why-wordpress-…

Ever wonder how WordPress sites really get hacked? 😬 Leaked passwords 🍪 Stolen session cookies 🧩 Vulnerable plugins 💀 Nulled themes Most attacks are bots. They don’t care how big your site is, just that it’s easy. Full breakdown👇 oliversild.com/how-do-wordpre…

I've seen a lot of hosts say the websites they are hosting are secured by network and server level WAFs and security solutions. We ran the tests... they are not. More to come soon! 🙂 PS! If you are a host and want to get an assessment on your infra, lmk. We'll do it for free.

Everyone talks about how to secure WordPress sites, but not enough ask: who’s actually responsible? 🧑💻 Devs & agencies need to lead the conversation 🛠️ Care plans = better security + recurring revenue 🧯 Hosts shouldn’t be the last line of defense oliversild.com/who-should-tak…

“Astronomically random” 😂

WordPress security isn’t just best practice anymore — it’s becoming the law. 💳 PCI DSS v4 now affects all payment sites (even with 3rd-party gateways) 🇪🇺 EU's Cyber Resilience Act = major changes Here's what you need to know👇 oliversild.com/wordpress-secu…

Internet was literally created to not physically be where work is. What a stupid concept it is to sit behind computers in the same office. 😅

‼️ Generic network & server level firewalls are not adequate security solutions to defend against WordPress plugin vulnerabilities. patchstack.com/articles/hosti…

Hosting security tested: 87.8% of vulnerability exploits bypassed hosting defenses patchstack.com/articles/hosti… Patchstack #bugbounty

⚠️ Patchstack study shows WordPress security gaps — hosting defenses alone aren’t enough. A wake-up call for site owners, devs & providers. 🔗 hostingdiscussion.com/news/patchstac… #WordPressSecurity #WebHosting #CyberSecurity #Patchstack

I’m very thankful and excited for being offered an opportunity to shape my favorite conference CloudFest as a member of the advisory board. Really looking forward to Cloudfest US in November and the main Cloudfest in March 2026. 😎 cloudfest.com/advisory-board

Have fun everyone who is travelling to #WCUS already. Here’s a photo I took last year. Guess where and how it’s taken? 🙂
