3 Best Practices for Site Owners:
- Enable Google reCAPTCHA v3 or Turnstile: Add recaptcha integration to all WordPress contact forms (Elementor, WPForms, Contact Form 7) to block fake leads.
- Enforce Strong cPanel Passwords: Always use randomly generated 16+ character passwords for FTP, email accounts, and cPanel logins.
