I see my two posts were liked so I just want to add something. I really feel bad for Uniden. I've owned many of their scanners and to this day I still own my very first P25 digital trunk capable scanner the BC296D. In fact, I still use it to this day since it does what I need it to do. I don't know what type of people they hired for web development or IT, etc. But I would be more inclined to higher professional web development. Like I said, WordPress is really not something I'd use for a big company. I just know about reading time and time again about all the vulnerable plug-ins and patches and hack crap with WP. It's just not a platform I'd use if I were a major company. For me personally I actually don't even know HTML or PHP, let alone Java Script or even CSS. I'd like to learn those one day, but it's on the back burner. But using WordPress or even phpBB really doesn't require any coding skills once so ever. In fact, a lot of hosts that give you something called cPanel have a one click install feature of all kinds of websites. That's how easy it is to use WordPress. And that's probably why so many are attacked because so many people use those without even knowing how to lock them down. I didn't know anything when I decided to run my own website just to help learn about it. But in the course of about 4 years I've learned all kinds of things about security and I've heeded that advice I have read. In fact, I have a few posts on my own forum on how to properly use CloudFlare to keep your origin IP hidden and I wrote about Ninjafirewall.
That Shodan website is a real booger. If you have any CVEs it will report them and so everyone will know about it. So it's very important to stay abreast of any and all patches that may exist. So that's why using a reverse proxy like CloudFlare is helpful because a website like Shodan can't really say this website has these CVEs. I've actually informed a few websites about the CVEs they had and I told another website that was using CloudFlare that their MX record exposed their origin IP which makes the whole point of using CloudFlare pointless. But try as I might, it seems to all fall on deaf ears. It's like they either don't care or just think they won't suffer from a DDoS or a hack, etc. It really is mind boggling. And this same thing happens when I try to help people on computer forums. I tell them what they should do, but it's like they completely ignore my post and quote someone else as if I didn't even say anything at all. So that's when I unsubscribe from the topic and move on. Oh well, I tried. What can I say? One one computer forum I was a member of circa '07 I was such a valuable asset that the owner of the website sent me a $50 gift certificate to my email for Amazon.
Edit-
Looks like this thread got moved.
