For a blog? If you don't put anything important on the server itself I can't imagine a hacker could do much. Maybe put a nasty image on your front page, or put their Bitcoin address pretending it's the place to send donations, but it would take a lot of time and effort to remain hidden for hardly any gain.


or take over your server?


Unless your server has very unusual features, or there are VERY serious kernel vulnerabilities, all an attacker can do is read files accessible to the server's user or run code as the server's user.

And possibly serve attacker-controller content to other users.
