I just installed this plugin but found out that it has a backdoor script included
in index.php. Dont get scammed!

Keep having problems with this plugin. It happens often and now I decided to find
another option. The concept sounded great but in reality its not very good. Sometimes
it doesnt even show a picture of the captcha and then you cant login! Then you manually
have to go to the ftp and delete the plugin to log in… sometimes it says captcha-
on-login/index.php deleted as the plugin does not exist!

This is what I received from Dreamhost – We have identified attacker-added malicious
content, which may include malware such as backdoor shells, adware, botnet, and 
spammer scripts. The following file(s) specifically have been identified as attacker-
added malware. These files have been DISABLED by setting their permissions to 200(
Owner write-only). These files should be audited and either replaced with known 
good versions or, if not legitimate site components, removed altogether: /my_site_URL/
plugins/captcha-on-login/templates/report.php /my_site_URL/plugins/captcha-on-login/
templates/options.php /my_site_URL/plugins/captcha-on-login/index.php I’ve deleted
this plugin and will not be using it again.
