 * Hi:
 * Security is a very broad topic that covers a TON of areas – can you be more specific
   about what, precisely, you’re concerned about?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi – we take standard recommended wp precautions in the code for data sanitation
   and such. You can review it all since it’s open source of course. But, as with
   all software, there is no guarantee that we have covered 100% of the potential
   mis-use cases.
 * Authentication is done via the standard WP login process and you can further 
   restrict uses based on the various plugin functions. Download and install it 
   and check out the permissions menu option under the FORUM menu.
 * I hope this helps.
