As we continued to emphasize the security of your WordPress admin panel due to the recent attack on our site, we have compiled a fully detailed article that will highlight some of the must have security measures for your WordPress Admin Area.
We are not saying that you must follow all of these tips, but you should still have a few of these implemented on your site in order to be sure. The more steps you take, the harder it will become for the hackers.

1. Create Custom Login Links

It is very obvious that in order to access the WordPress admin panel, all one has to do is type in the url of the site with /wp-login.php.

A plugin called Stealth Login allows you to create custom URLs for logging in, logging out, administration and registering for your WordPress blog.
