Steps and Plugins to keep them out
Notes:
Know the difference between spam and hacking because each requires a different approach. It’s very important to stay informed because things online change rapidly.
Spam: Use a decoy email address for testing and joining. Never use a password more than once and never use words or names. Use Last Pass or some such password manager. Don’t unsubscribe a message from someone new or strange – simply delete.
Hacking: On your website never use the suggested admin@wplogin – create your own. Use protection plugins such as Wordfence or Akismet. Never list your email or address – better to use a form. Put contact details into a button so that bots are unable to scrape them.
Here’s valuable information provided by Nathan Segal:
