I have developed and hosted over 760 WP sites since 2006 and have never been hacked. Ever.

Mediocre craftspeople blame their tools.

Glad you got lucky. But a tool having one critical vulnerability after another has nothing to do with mediocre craftsmanship and blaming admins for getting hacked after updating their software is nothing but disrespectful and condescending

I’ve driven a poorly designed car without many safety features for years, and I’ve never flown through the windshield, ever.

Professionals are never cocky. Cocky comes back to bite.

How do you know?

The CVE list always cracks me up, there’s like tens daily

JFC I thought you were exaggerating.

Anyone who hosts websites can check the logs and see the bots hammering away at wp/admin primarily, even if you are not running any WordPress. Low hanging meat? Fresh fruit?

Elementor makes it worse though.
