How safe is MODx vs other CMS

I had lots of problems with being hacked when I used Drupal and I’m looking for a more secure CMS. What are others’ experiences?

Thanks.

MODX Revolution is safest CMF I’ve seen so far.

If you keep it up to date you should be worry free. I have three servers loaded with MODX sites and no problems

I’ve been using Evo for more than six years, across three continents, and with a bit of care and attention to the security announcements have never had a problem.

hi,

just my two cents about security, a way not to be easily hacked is not having people guess what cms you’re using too easily...

having a look at the source code is the first way one know what tool you’re site is running with (don’t you guess what cms is behind a website with wp-content in the link/script tags in the head part.

MODx has a very generic /assets/css... and so on "annoucement" which is a good beginning

This, of course not speaking about how things are coded (drupal is not exactly known to be an example about this, particularly when it comes to its sql requests...)

Something else, of course i wish MODx to be knwon as The cms that FTW but, in the other hand, the more a cms is wellknown and claiming to be the best the more it is hacked, remember PhpBB a few years ago... claiming to be the best and... being the most hacked forum machine... i would bet MODx is not tempting hackers as much as Drupal or Joomla (so far...)

Have swing

Please note that the security breach can also been done through the plugin.
Each of developers must be responsible to their own codes on this matter.

Currently MODX does not have the security assessment procedure to the submitted extra, but we do seriously concern about the security.

MODX has a Security Team.
Perhaps the standard have not been set, yet, but you can read my post about it (look at the link on my signature).

Cheers.

We do actually take a cursory look at every submitted extra before publishing them to the repository. That being said, the ones that come from the core team are monitored religiously and take advantage of the security protections inherent in Revo. I think a testament to this approach can be seen in the volume of security reports at secunia.com compared to the other "better known" solutions out there. We’ve had roughly a dozen—and most of them on Evo—compared to 100, 200 or more on each of the "big three".
