6 year old bug, really?  :)
I just installed a wordpress blog. But i will always advice to keep the basics and throw away any shit you don't need. Also just enabled cloudflare free on it :)

Better WP Security + Cloud Flare + Mod_Secuity(with OWASP rules) is quite good :)

And the biggest problem are the themes. So don't use a leaked old premium theme, or be sure it's clean and every addon included (timthumb) is updated :D

Yep, plugins are also a big threat.
