    I got hacked due to this plugin and can confirm based on reports, articles, and my own experience. Upon reinstalling from backups, then deleting the plugin, the site is restored to normal… temporarily. Minutes after, the malware returns. Not sure if there are remnants in the database, but your free version of the plugin’s vulnerability has disrupted and destroyed my sites and business, and I really could use your help. Thank you.

    Edit: I would like to add that this is run on a MultiSite and it is the subsites that are most afflicted.

    Same situation here. This was our favorite plugin and it triggered on most of our client’s sites. Guys, you need to fix the loophole quickly.

    One of our customers was also affected by this hack.

    A shell process was running on the customer’s server that kept undoing our changes.
    www-data 1856 0.0 0.0 293448 3636 ? S Sep05 1:02 php /var/customers/webs/*****/***.*******************.de/lock666.php

    It might help you to restart the web server service. This helped us.

    p.s. The file lock666.php was not found on the server. I think it was deleted right after starting the process.

    good luck,
    Norman

    I was hoping you guys can provide help, even if in a general way, before us having to go with the paid services like Wordfence/Sucuri/etc. (which are currently on high surge pricing due to high volume, and will further cost us a lot of money in service fees beyond the damage your plugin had already done), seeing as all this was caused by your plugin, and was not preventable by all the security plugins we had in place.

    Not trying to keep blaming you (too late for that), but since it’s your product that caused this, perhaps you can provide guidance– if not direct assistance– as you must be aware of its pattern and behavior.

    I have sent a support ticket already but wanted to point this out here because the damage has been unrelenting. Thank you.
