Hi,

In the past few weeks, a linux malware has been attacking various plugins and themes, redirecting them to malicious content and ads.

This specific article claims the malware is abusing the vulnerability CVE-2016-10972 of Newspaper.

To date, I had been using the 10.3.4 version but today I updated it to the latest version of Newspaper. There is very little info regarding this malware as of now so if there is a possibility my website could have been infected?

Also, is there a specific patch for the theme regarding this malware and what should be my course of action if my website has indeed been infected?
