I deleted my last sandbox blog while having the problem with the WP Security Scan. It changed something on my database that made my other programs broken. My ISP has that fixed now.
I am setting up my new sandbox blog better this time thanks to the lessons I have learned.
1. I changed the Database Table Prefix from wp_ to something else.
Changing it from wp_ makes it harder for a bad robot to find it.
2. Delete the admin account
Add a new user with full access then delete the admin account. This eliminates brute force attacks that use the username admin.
3. I add the plugin Plugin Central
The only plugin I have to upload. I can easily add all other plugins by using this one.
