David, A few companies I can think of the top of my head that use WordPress:
- New York Times - News UK - Red Bull - PlayStation - Siemens - Fairfax Media (Now Nine Entertainment) - Google - News Corp Australia - USA Today - Spotify - Microsoft - The Sun - Facebook - CNN As to security and privacy, all good there too - Security updates are timely and with vulnerabilities 99% of the time disclosed responsibly and credited in the updated release notes: https://wordpress.org/news/category/security/ - Privacy is GDPR Compliant, more can be read at https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-privacy/ - More on these topics at https://wordpress.org/support/category/security/ As per my bio below, I've been involved with WordPress for ~15 years now, so there's an obvious bias, but I think it's ok, I've staked my career on it and work with WordPress full time with the company I work for with some of the clients above that I mentioned.

Facebook is also based on PHP :) https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/ is their advice. -- Regards, Christian Heinrich http://cmlh.id.au/contact _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
