1) Delete the Admin login of the site. After the system has been successfully log in, delete the login details
2) By using 'myRepono plugin', regular back-ups of the site can de done
3) The 'User Locker' plugin helps to set a maximum number of invalid authentication before the account is locked
4) Use 'Admin SSL Secure Plugin' to encrypt the sit with SSL
5) The 'Chap Secure Login' helps encrypt all login credentials with SHA-256 algorithm
6) Remove all the default posts and comments that indicate new WordPress site
7) To disable unfiltered HTML, add the following to 'wp-config.php' file: define ('DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML', true);
8) Run the 'Exploit Scanner plug-in' to check the malicious activity in the system
