Yes. WordPress's core software is secure and actively maintained. Most hacked WordPress sites were let in by an outdated plugin or theme, or a weak or reused password, so a site that's kept updated, uses strong logins and has recent backups is much harder to break into and much easier to recover.
The short version
WordPress's core software is built and reviewed by a large global team, and millions of businesses run on it safely. It gets targeted because it's popular, not because it's weak - and that targeting is almost entirely automated bots probing for sites that haven't been kept up to date.
Where the real risk comes from
The weak points are rarely WordPress core itself. They're out-of-date plugins and themes, weak or reused passwords, and missing basic protections. Close those gaps - keep everything current, use strong passwords and two-factor login, add a security layer that blocks repeat attackers - and you've shut the doors that hacks actually walk through. Our WordPress security checklist goes through them one at a time.
The safety net
Even a well-secured site should have recent backups stored somewhere separate, so that if anything ever does slip through, recovery is a restore rather than a rebuild. Strong security plus a good backup is what turns a worst-case event into a minor one - and keeping both in place is exactly the kind of ongoing work that's easy to let slide without someone watching it.
