2026 Has Changed Everything About WordPress Security
February 2026 was absolutely revolutionary for WordPress security. Austin Ginder runs a hosting company and he was suddenly overwhelmed by new hacking attempts. Austin's response was creative, constructive, and inspiring.
In this episode of the PublishPress Podcast, I talk with Austin about how AI is transforming WordPress security. Austin started as a skeptic but has come to embracing AI tools like Cloud Code, which have revolutionized his approach to coding and security. We discuss the increasing sophistication of hackers and their supply chain attacks. But we also discuss the potential for these tools to make WordPress a safer platform.
