Wild flipping is the practice of taking another player's wild and then abandoning it - essentially cutting supply lines to that player since the production bonus gained by controlling the wild is immediately lost. In addition, this practice usually has the secondary effect of causing troop loss when the player is forced to retake a wild. Although wild flipping is widely condemned in this game, there are some players and alliances who believe this is a valid technique for fighting a larger enemy. Whatever your stance on the matter, the fact remains that wilds are vulnerable to be being flipped.
TIP: To mitigate this risk, do not take wilds surrounding your cities! This makes it too easy for a player to find and flip your wild. Instead, on the map, plug in coordinates at random and then search for a wild at that destination. Select a wild that is as far from other players as possible, especially higher level players and current and former enemies. Once you have taken this wild, go to the map, plug in new coordinates selected at random, and repeat the process.
