 * Hi-
 * I am trying to deal with a link injection attack. Whenever a user clicks the “
   Submit” button on the new Abstract page, they are directed to a third part, medical
   pills spam site. I am trying to track down the source but don’t see it anywhere.
 * Please help!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flink-injection-attack%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi Clive,
 * Thank you for letting me know that your injection attack had nothing to do with
   WP Abstracts. We take security very seriously and was happy you were able to 
   find and resolve your issue.
