Out of date WP installations or plugins will almost certainly get compromised. Depending on your server configuration, the other sites on your server may also get compromised as well.
Charge your clients a recurring fee to keep their shit up-to-date and backed up. With my clients this is non-negotiable (though they've all seen the value in what I offer). If your client refuses, make sure you're not hosting their site.
I just had an agency client get their MT account compromised because of this. I was managing 3/8 WP installs on their server. They didn't want me to manage the other 5 because their client owed them money. Everything on their server has malware on it now.
