LOL. To be fair wordpress is targeted for the same reasons that MS windows and IE are. Because a majority of websites use it.
Safest way to keep your wordpress installation from being exploited is to keep it up to date and run it on a secure hosting service.
I recently failed to keep up to date and paid the price. Albeit a small one.
One thing I hate about WP is that it outputs <meta generator="Wordpress 2.5.1"> its just a red flag to a bull when it comes to scripts / script kiddies. Of course there are other ways to tell its WP but why make it more obvious than need be.
