 * Hello!
   I created this account to warn others that this plugin, or a variant using
   its name, may contain malware. It installs various configuration files into WordPress
   installations and attempts to add malicious cookies. I’m currently investigating
   and fixing the website which had this plugin in the plugins folder.
 * Check your wp-config.php and other folders.
 * Greetings
