[Pauldotcom] Open Source CMS Products

[Bert Van Kets]

Keep in mind that the base CMS is only part of the security problem.
The server at my provider had all web sites of all VPSes defaced due to
a shady Joomla plugin on one site. It allowed the attackers to get
access to the whole system.
If security is important, do not use VPS and tripple check each and
every plugin you use.

Hosting like WordPress.com is of course another solution. You offload
the security work to them.
The Drupal guys are workig on a similar system.
