    "By Larry Seltzer for Zero Day | March 25, 2014 -- 12:00 GMT (05:00 PDT) Internet security research and services company Netcraft has determined that sites running the WordPress blogging software are a major source of both phishing attacks and malware distribution. Interestingly, none of the phishing sites were hosted on WordPress.com, a a large blog-hosting service run by Automattic. The founder of Automattic was one of the original authors of WordPress and the company still contributes to the WordPress.org open source project. Netcraft speculates that this familiarity explains their security record. It also shows that WordPress can be administered securely. But the WordPress application is free and is installed on many web sites across the world. The administrators of these sites are responsible for keeping WordPress and its component parts updated, and many do not. "
