What happened this month

Stolen plugin keys used to plant backdoors

Attackers used stolen UpdraftCentral connection keys from TeamUpdraft's breached website to install backdoors on connected WordPress sites. The report concerns the cloud management service; installing UpdraftPlus alone does not establish that a site was affected.

Critical page-builder flaw under active attack

A maximum-severity flaw in the Bricksforge WordPress page-builder add-on lets attackers run code without logging in. The reported flaw affects versions through 3.1.8.9; version 3.1.8.10 includes a patch.

Read coverage

The pattern is the same: every plugin adds code or access that another developer maintains.

Most business sites run on a stack of plugins nobody is watching.

Plugins from dozens of different developers.

Updates that break things or get skipped.

No one on your team owns it.

WordPress setups and hosting plans vary. This comparison describes a plugin-based site managed by its owner and a Make Waves Marketing build with an active maintenance package.

No platform is immune to every threat. Fewer moving parts and active maintenance reduce the things you need to manage.

01
Send us your URL.
Tell us where to find your company website.
02
We check your site.
We review the platform, publicly visible plugins and software, SSL, and visible risks. If deeper checks need authorized access, we discuss that with you first.
03
Talk through the findings.
We walk you through what we found in a 20-minute call, with plain-English next steps. No obligation.

A public review cannot find every hidden plugin or confirm a site is free of compromise. We explain the limits of what we checked.

Questions before you send your site?

Is the review really free?

Yes. No cost and no obligation.

Do I have to rebuild my site?

No. Sometimes the fix is updates and cleanup. We'll tell you honestly.

What do you build on instead?

We build modern sites on Lovable with a managed backend and configured access controls, so there's no WordPress plugin stack to maintain. Every platform still needs active maintenance.

Can you keep my content and SEO?

Yes. We migrate your content and use proper redirects to preserve existing URLs and search signals. Rankings can change; no rebuild can guarantee they stay the same.

What does a rebuild cost?

See our pricing for website options. We confirm the scope and price before any work begins. See our pricing.

Your website should win business, not keep you up at night.
