Security Vulnerability on WordPress Websites

This past week, there have been increased incidences of hacking on WordPress websites and is likely to continue for several more weeks. If hacked, your website may be unavailable for use until restored.

Anyone using a WordPress website should take certain immediate actions to ensure their websites are secure.

What should I do?
