Recent Spike in Attacks Targeting Outdated WordPress Plugins

January 16, 2023 By Nick J Leave a Comment

In recent weeks, there has been a spike in plugin attacks that take advantage of vulnerabilities in plugins to inject malicious code into your website.

According to the Wordfence team, they noticed a spike in plugin attacks especially during the Thanksgiving holidays and start of December for two plugins in particular: Kaswara Modern VC Addons and Adning Advertising.

This serves as a reminder of the importance of keeping your plugins up-to-date lest you experience a malware attack during some of the most important days for ecommerce sites.


If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact our support team.
