Niko chose the path any small business owner would follow. Started learning and doing it all by himself. Learning how to create a website and how to fill it with content was easy. Especially, considering his business, small community newspaper. He never thought about the security of his website, it seemed too hard, and he couldn8217t believe somebody would bother to hack his beautiful site. It was just a tiny local newspaper. As soon as it was completed, the site got hacked. Just a bunch of beginner hackers hacked his site. Niko dropped the idea for a while. So, time went by and opportunities as well. That Very Eureka Moment One day he realized that he didn8217t need to be an expert in Automobile Engineering (a branch of study of engineering which teaches manufacturing, designing, mechanical mechanisms as well as operations of automobiles), to drive the car safely. He just needed to understand general principles and to follow well formulated, easy to follow instructions. The same goes for WordPress security. You don8217t need to be IT geek. You just need to follow well formulated and tested instructions and common sense, if you can get hands on it, of course. So, he did, took some classes, consulted some geeks and created his own 8220driver8217s manual8221 for WordPress security, without obtaining PhDs in several disciplines.
