Last Friday we dove down the WordPress Security bunny hole to chase the Aethera botnet and the other attack platform that WordFence reported. Today we are looking a their new WordPress Security Learning Center.
If you are a developer or security professional, you should check this site out, and take the time to fit the classes into your schedule. If you are interested in a deeper dive into WordPress security, this is the place to go: https://www.wordfence.com/learn/
