Alert: WordPress Security in 2025

Why WordPress Security in 2025 is a Wake-Up Call for Site Owners

For years, I steered clear of WordPress opting instead for Do-It-Yourself HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Between “clunky-to-me” user experience, security concerns, outdated plugins, and constant maintenance headaches, the risks never seemed worth the reward. Now, in 2025, it turns out my skepticism might have been well-founded. The latest “State of WordPress Security in 2025” report from Patchstack confirms what many of us have suspected: WordPress security is a growing concern, and site owners are not nearly vigilant enough.

Future Forward Organizations: Change is in the Air

Reimagining Business on the Blockchain

It has never been more clear to me that the future of business needs to change. One way to do that is with the Blockchain. In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations are facing increasing pressure to stay aligned with their mission, goals, and regulations, and to meet membership expectations all while protecting their IP, Brand, Customer base data and integrity. Centralized, hierarchical systems often leave room for communication breakdowns, top-down management silos or worse oligarchies, decision-making bottlenecks. Centralized financial control can often hinder accountability, making it difficult to track spending and ensure responsible use of resources. As a result, organizations on a journey to become transparency instead end up misaligned, losing touch with the very clients, customers and communities they were created to serve. Enter blockchain technology, a disruptive force that offers a truly transparent, decentralized alternative to traditional organizational structures.
