Title: Auto Install & Activated. MALWARE ATTACKS? Last modified: June 1, 2026 --- # Auto Install & Activated. MALWARE ATTACKS? * [melanieamorim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melanieamorim/) * (@melanieamorim) * [1 day, 2 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/auto-install-activated-malware-attacks/) * Was is a coincidence that 10+ of my client websites were infected with malware?! * Around the same timeframe this was rolled out, I dealt with malware/security issues across 10+ client WordPress sites. I’m still investigating and not claiming they’re related, but the timing has my attention. * As someone who manages websites for clients, I don’t want AI tools, plugins, or new functionality automatically installed on production websites. That should be an opt-in decision, not something enabled by default. * Curious if anyone else experienced security issues, unexpected changes, or plugin installations around the same time. - This topic was modified 1 day, 2 hours ago by [melanieamorim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melanieamorim/).
