The bad side about WordPress

Is there something weird about the image above? Hint, look at the website's address, and then look at the CMS. I just copied my tech blog onto my computer, and we can do that to any website made from WordPress in the world.

You know the strange part? It's surprisingly easy to do so! I recently wrote an article about cloning dev.to, you can read it here.

Anyway, back to WordPress. You know why WordPress website's are that easy to clone? It's because of the fact that their source code is basically just lying around.

This isn't actually as concerning as it sounds, because it's technically illegal to copy someone else's work, it's called copyright.

Anyway, just beware that this is a key security factor, and as long as you're aware of it, it's perfectly alright to use WordPress.
