Malware From Pirated Themes & Plugins
The most widespread threat to WordPress security is malware from pirated (nulled) themes and plugins. Wordfence detected more than 70 million malicious files on 1.2 million WordPress sites in the past year. Over 17% of all infected sites had malware from a nulled plugin or theme.

Malicious Login Attempts
Wordfence detected (and blocked) over 90 billion malicious login attempts from over 57 million unique IP addresses. That’s a rate of 2,800 attacks per second targeting WordPress sites. WordPress site owners can protect themselves from malicious login attempts by setting up multi-factor authentication. This will ensure no one can get in without a password and  a special code only you have access to.
