 * Lately my site is getting hacked. The hacker inserts links into the cached versions
   of pages on the site. I noticed that permissions on some of the hacked files 
   are changed to 666. I can delete the cache and the links go away but they come
   back in a day or two. I noticed that last year this plugin had a similar exploit.
   Is it possible it has a new, undiscovered security issue? My theme and all plugins
   are up to date.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcache-hacked%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello last week my website WP Fastest Cache plugin is been hacked and .htaccess
   file changed to:
 * # BEGIN WpFastestCache
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond%{
   HTTP_USER_AGENT} Googlebot RewriteRule (.*) [http://www.hackerurl.com](http://www.hackerurl.com)[
   L,R=301]
 * The result was the User-declared canonical in google console change to [http://www.hackerurl.com](http://www.hackerurl.com)
   and my domain wasn’t indexed by google.
 * So I found that it was the WpFastestCache plugin.
    After that I update the plugin
   today and I hope not happent again because it was my bussiness website and cost
   me some customers.

 * It’s wrong to blame us if you’re not sure. wp fastest cache has no known vulnerabilities.
