excellent webhooks article/rant. yes! i like the email bit because that is exactly something i have done… leveraging twitter direct message emails sent to a script, handled logically and resulting in a real-time response via a prototype app called pubping. of course i did this because the twitter has not webhooks. so i settled for a nice email2webhook

Partial Peace of Mind

sull — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 21:17:06 +0000

WordPress is like Windows. It’s massively popular and used by millions. This also makes it the biggest target for script kiddie hackers. You could argue that their is a twisted symbiotic relationship since the software improves with every patched hole that is creatively revealed. But some bloggers do really get screwed with and its not fun.

WordPress has some decent backup plugins and I am running one that emails my gmail account every night with the attached backup file.

Though this does give some peace of mind, the real problem with web security is that it revolves around your email address. Passwords, confidential files, contacts etc etc are all right there in your email account with only a single password as an obstacle. Once your email is compromised, the digital intruder can get access to any number of other accounts…. whether that be your social network services or banking services…. you can get hit hard.
This is a topic I would like to write about again so i’ll just end with the most obvious tip.

Change your email passwords often and make them “very strong” and automate data backup.
