Like WordPress and any entity that develops software, we understand that security is not absolute and is a continuous process managed as such. We do our best to prevent security issues as proactively as possible, as we do not assume they’ll never come up. Our responsibility is to quickly take care of them and work to get our customers notified and prepared. This is why we recommend keeping your website and plugins up-to-date and maintained at all times.
