  Your blog is a secure as your personal habits render to be.

  Use a secure, encrypted connection to connect to your Dashboard. Under Users → Personal Settings, check the box that says “Always use HTTPS when visiting administration pages, and click Save Changes.

  Set up two step authentication http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/two-step-authentication/

  Then read this please knowing that blogs don’t get hacked when security protocols are followed. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/security/

  I’ve read that using https demands a lot from the server. And one should only use it for the parts of the site which demands extra security. so I don’t think using it on the entire admin section would be such a good idea?
