I read & review, so you don’t have to

TL;DR

Mostly info related to the recent Internet security risks.

Cloudflare

• https://blog.cloudflare.com/full-transaction-waf/
• https://blog.cloudflare.com/php-vulnerabilities-waf-protection/
• https://blog.cloudflare.com/emudhra-certificate-compromise/
• https://blog.cloudflare.com/yandex-outage/
• https://blog.cloudflare.com/enterprise-for-all-update/

NOTE: Strongly recommend Cloudflare for DNS registrar & CDN. Why?

1. Wholesale rates for domain registrar. No sleazy up-sells.
2. Commitment to provide quick critical security features to all, including free users.
3. Class leading CDN, improving your server’s performance, often free of charge.
4. Many other reasons, mostly technical excellence and feature depth.

Patchstack

I review this on a regular basis, even if I forget to list it. It is a rolling list of security issues reported, described, and priority ranked for popular website ecosystems.

The “good news” is that all WordPress-based websites having a Market Street maintenance contract are setup to use a premium monitoring service that checks multiple times a day for security issues and updates the relevant software once the vendor publishes a fix.
