Thousands of WordPress websites at risk from PHP malware

 

Hackers are using a recently tracked WordPress  flaw  to breach thousands of websites.  The flaw has been active for the last 11 years. The malware, which is programmed in PHP, is spread via an infected plugin. The number of websites that had downloaded the plugin reached 6,988 by March 30, 2023, while it has been downloaded over 23,110 times in the last week alone. Researchers stated that they've detected over 6,000 instances of this backdoor on compromised websites in the last six months, describing the pattern of inserting the malware directly into the database. Only a few weeks ago, a security flaw enabled hackers to  infect  over 1 million WordPress websites.  According to researchers, at least 13,000 WordPress websites are  hacked  every day.
