• Unfotunately, I have to inform other users when I activated this plugin so it was difficult to log back in again at first. Meantime
    I discovered a hidden communication towards a remote unknown cloud site. The address was: ….cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com

    I do not understand why a plugin should communicate whith a remote cloud ste for any reason!!!

    Please be aware of this issue and check this for yourself. It might be a security issue that put every website that uses this plugin at a major risk.

    I hope I’m wrog about this!

    Thanx for sharing this. I’ll do that.

    What in the world are you talking about? Please search through the code and see that “cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com” is nowhere within it!

    I use this plugins on several sites and have been since it came out
    there is absolutely no code that makes that call
    furthermore, this is a secure plugin in that it uses proper closes, etc.
    methinks you you have greatly libeled the author

    Well guys,

    I’m truly sorry about the missunderstanding. As I said in my previous post you should “check this for yourself”. And I was wrong about this issue which is NOT referring to Theme My Login plugin!

    However, after testing a number of plugins in several days I found that it refers to a plugin named myEASYhider and myEASYbackup. The code is:

    define('myEASYcomCaller', 'myeasyhider');
    define('MYEASY_CDN', 'http://c0007523.cdn2.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/');

    If you are intrested to check it for yourselves you may search for http://c0007523.cdn2.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com which is the address my wordpress was trying to connect at the time of admin login.

    Again Jeff, I’m truly sorry for the missunderstanding.

    Best regards
