About ActBlue
ActBlue is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering small-dollar donors. Its online fundraising platform makes it easy for grassroots supporters to make their voices heard and helps thousands of Democratic campaigns, progressive organizations, and nonprofits build people-powered movements.
Security
WordPress’s mission to democratize publishing and embrace of open source has led it to be adopted by individuals and organizations of all shapes and sizes. The downside of this ubiquity , when paired with the ease of its famous five-minute install , is that it’s a frequent target of attacks and malware.
Additionally, use of the ActBlue Contributions plugin increases your responsibilities as a WordPress site operator/administrator. Your site will act as a conduit through which contributions flow. It is possible that a malicious WordPress plugin may hijack and redirect those contributions or contributor personal information to a malicious site other than ActBlue, so you must exercise increased care when configuring and operating your site.
Here are a few tips to minimize the risks associated with using the ActBlue Contributions plugin with WordPress:
Keep it secure
- If you’re not using a fully managed service like wordpress.com, make sure you’re using a trusted WordPress hosting provider with a proven track record of security. Look for hosts that have a dedicated support team, provide SSL, manage WordPress updates, and proactively scan for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and attacks.
- Use HTTPS URLs for your entire site, especially WordPress core files (starting with wp- ). ActBlue embeds won’t work on non-HTTPS URLs .
