Good Security Plugins for WordPress

I got this question on my email a few days ago,

“Thanks for the information about WordPress vs. Joomla. It was interesting.
I have had my Joomla site hacked so many times that I was considering switching to WordPress. Any experiences with security w/ WordPress? “

Trying to answer this question, I had to research the topic of WordPress security more and here is what I found.

Joomla… I am disappointed!

I am very sorry to say that a friend contacted me to say that his Joomla site has been hacked and that he’s finding a great difficulty in regaining control over it .

When I first compared WordPress to Joomla I said I saw many advantages it had over WordPress and  a lot of friends and visitors commented saying that Joomla was very vulnerable to hacking and to be honest I didn’t believe them at first, but now I certainly do!

I tried to search online to find ways to regain the site and undo the damage done by the hackers but didn’t find anything useful, and even though I managed to install a couple of extensions which claimed to prevent hackers but nothing worked and the site got hacked again within a few minutes.

Joomla … I am really disappointed in you!
