October 21, 2020 — “What could I have done to avoid being hacked?” is a question you’ll often hear after a site is hacked. In some cases the answer is complicated, but a lot of the time it’s relatively simple and there are many checklists and guides online outlining the ways sites can be hacked, plus how to secure them. However, a lot of people learn better from seeing and doing than reading (often boring) checklists. So rather than look at checklists on slides for 30 minutes, we’re going to hack into WordPress instead!

October 21, 2019 — Une forte proportion des sites WordPress piratés n’avaient pas été mis à jour régulièrement. La solution est-elle forcément dans un contrat de maintenance ?

Les clients ne comprennent pas toujours notre langage et ils n’osent pas toujours le dire.
Les clients n’ont pas toujours le budget ou n’ont pas les clés pour faire des choix.
Le créateur du site pense parfois que ce n’est pas son problème.
Les clients peuvent-ils faire eux-mêmes les mises à jour ?
Et pour les changements importants comme l’arrivée de l’éditeur de blocs ou quand trop de temps est passé sans mise à jour ?
Et si on leur proposait des aides ponctuelles ?

August 26, 2019 — Is WordPress insecure? Not at all! However, an outdated WordPress installation with a weak password and poorly chosen plugins is definitely insecure.

It’s often said that “security is a process”, and the security of your own site starts with you installing the WordPress. Why should you care about security from day one, when your website is brand new and only your mom reads it? What should you do yourself, while your site grows, even if you do not (yet) have the budget to hire experts? How can you make your visitors browsing safer? How can you minimize the chance you site got hacked?

In this talk I will go over some best practices you can implement to make your website safer and why you should care about them. None of these require a single line of code, only some common sense and understanding what is right and what should be avoided as a behaviour while you manage your site.
