My wordpress site running with an “old” version of Newspaper theme has been infected by this : http://labs.sucuri.net/?note=2018-09-18
I think I’ve succedeed in cleaning it (or almost…), but as it could be linked to Newspaper theme, I wanted to know if your tech team was aware. And do you think current version (I use the last version now !) is protected from such an attack.

Thank you so much.

Hello arnaud-palancade,

We will contact Sucuri in this regard as the article refers to the old vulnerability we had in newspaper 6 which was fixed years ago. You can quietly use the latest version of the theme as there is no vulnerability.

Thanks for the message!
