### 󠀁[Hacker Installed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacker-installed/)󠁿

I found this plugin installed on my multisite installation on the same day that 
I found several instances of a Webshell script installed in various locations. I
don’t know the relationship this plugin has to the hackers but I know that they 
installed it and used it to install Webshell scripts that took several days to find
and remove.

Hacker installed this plugin, and then from what I can gather, somehow used it to
blast our server with invalid SSH login attempts. Ate up all of the server’s RAM
and all sites stopped responding. Had an entire 2 days of downtime for 7 sites.

### 󠀁[Also Hacked](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/also-hacked/)󠁿

This plugin mysteriously found its way onto my site around the same time that my
site went down and just displayed LOADS of adverts for Nike Air Jordans. Definitely
a hack.

### 󠀁[An obvious hack.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/an-obvious-hack/)󠁿

 [fonola](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fonola/) February 7, 2017

My website’s wp_options table was spammed and finally crashed to white screen of
death. Only apparent clue is that there were two instances of this Login Wall -plugin
on my WordPress installation. They have appeared from nowhere at the same time that
my site went down. Now I’m struggling to get the site working again and my content
restored. Please WP admins / Professionals, do something about this! 🙁

### 󠀁[Hacker installing Login Wall](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacker-installing-login-wall/)󠁿

 [madoracle7](https://profiles.wordpress.org/madoracle7/) February 7, 2017

I have been tracking the source of a mysterious installation of this plugin on a
site I manage. It has occurred several times over the last weeks and I finally traced
it to the site having been breached. The hacker has gained one of the admin credentials
and seems insistent on installing Login Wall plugin amongst other things. The last
instance was sourced at IP address 222.91.195.227 in China.
