Obscuring the WordPress version deters exploitation of weaknesses.

Overview

Your WordPress version number, if accessible, can provide hackers with insights into potential vulnerabilities specific to that version. To prevent this, WP Extended offers a module that removes the WordPress version number from the source code of your site. This effectively shields your site from version-specific attacks.
