Nearly a million WordPress sites targeted in extensive attacks
A threat actor is actively trying to insert a backdoor into and compromise WordPress-based sites to redirect visitors to malvertising.
“While our records show that this threat actor may have sent out a smaller volume of attacks in the past, it’s only in the past few days that they’ve truly ramped up, to the point where more than 20 million attacks were attempted against more than half a million individual sites on May 3, 2020,” Wordfence analysts discovered.
