After that fun WordPress fiasco from yesterday, I was wondering: is it safe to install WordPress via Softaculous, or is there a patch we are waiting for?

We don't recommend using WP at all. We never have, and never will. It's notorious for crap like this, and has one of the worst track records for CMS security...just about any other program out there is more secure than the steaming pile that is WP.

 

The hack in question does seem to affect the latest version though, as several people (both here and other places online) reported that fully updated, no-extension installs were compromised by AnonymousFox. Last I heard, WP is denying an issue exists though it quite obviously does based on the numerous reports across the web.

Ah, okay. Do you have a recommendation for a CMS then? I'm actually thinking of rolling my own lightweight blog engine

That's actually what I did, though it wasn't a blog in my case. I just added some code to a plain free html template so content came from a database, and added a very basic editor for such content. Been using it for 7 years with no issues...

You can try Joomla.

But @wolstech said a good thing. I am also using the same method as the CMS based websites generally face speed issues.
