WordPress is the Facebook of the website world. About 1/3 of all websites are powered by WordPress according to the stats published by BuiltWith.com. If a hacker wants to spread malware or gain access to a bunch of information, hacking a large platform gives them more bang for their buck. Another reason WordPress is a target is that it is open source software. Anyone can develop plugins or themes for wordpress which means there is a wide variance of the quality of the code used by WordPress owners. A poorly coded plugin (or an out of date plugin) is like an unlocked door inviting hackers in.

Keeping your site, plugins, and theme updated is one of the best things you can do to make it harder for hackers to break in. There are also some other security measures you should implement, like hiding your login dashboard and blocking people or bots who attempt to log in multiple times in a short timeframe. And most importantly, backing up your site files and database daily to an off site location not on your server so that if you were to be hacked or your server were to fail, your site could be re-published on a new server in a matter of minutes, not days or weeks.
