After reading this article today from Wordfence I’m really worried:
https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2017/08/traffictrade-malware/
Is Newspaper 8.0/8.1 free from the vulnerability the article shows?
Daniel
Yes, the version was 6.71. Fixed April 2016.
See my tutorial on security practices.
Tagdiv likely needs to put sticky notice top of forum.
Its the same with wordpress prior to 4.7, also insecure and hackable regardless of theme.
Hello danielalonso,
Please note that the theme has to be updated along with WordPress and plugins. Old versions can have security breaches and these can be exploited by different tools.
The old version from prior to April 2016 had a security issue which was patched in 6.7.2. Similarly, WordPress prior to 4.7 is insecure.
Please make sure you update your theme, plugins, and WordPress and do not stick to old versions.
If you have been the victim of an attack, update your theme immediately to the latest version and use one of these guides:
