Super Fishy! Official looking name but a 3rd party app. Stay Away!

    From the name WPAdm.com I was tricked into thinking it was an official app.

    Once installed, it will ask you to register for a “wordpress access” in order to activate dropbox function, but in reality, it was registering for access to a website called “webpage-backup.com”

    Worst offense of all is that their website http://webpage-backup.com IS NOT ENCRYPTED. THERE IS NO HTTPS, JUST PLAN OLD HTTP FOR ALL OPERATIONS INCLUDING ENTERING EVERY DETAIL ABOUT YOUR DROPBOX OR YOUR WEBSITE.

    And you can’t manage your dropbox backup in wordpress, it leads you to http://webpage-backup.com and ask for all kinds of credentials… And it is NOT FREE. In order to use dropbox backup you have to pay either $50 or $100 credit to use.

    I deleted the app and changed all my passwords after this fishy install. Stay away.
