    WP plugin that can be a hole for hackers

    Can someone here share some plugin that can turn into a hole for hackers to invade our blog.Some plugin we use maybe can lead into potential blog hijacking.This happen because we don't know and don't get the right info about certain plugin that we installed.

    So if those bad plugin ever existed and we don't know about it please tell here so as to make sure our blog is safe from hackers

    To some extent this is a moving target. Hackers are continually looking for exploits in code that they can use. I feel that those available directly from wp.org have the best chances of being secure because I think that if there were complaints or problems they would be removed, but that does not guarantee against a future hack.

    i would think the same way you think, just depend on plugin solely from wp.org.. BUT maybe there's a plugin that can be a future hole that can be penetrated by hackers, if somenone knows bad plugin from wp.org, please tell here, for the sake of bloggers community

    once seobunny told about one plug-in to be safe from hackers. Ask from her about that. Maybe it is the one that idreesfarooq suggested.
