Hello, I had a fresh install of WordPress and installed the Newspaper theme and within several days began receiving emails from my hosting company’s abuse department. At first I thought the emails from their abuse department was a hoax but after reaching out to my hosting company I discovered that it was not in fact a hoax, but a legitimate request for me to remove the files in question due to Netflix having reported phishing emails coming from my server.
By the time I saw their emails it had been several days and I didn’t want to risk having my server shut down by taking the time to figure out what was causing the problem, so I just emptied the entire root directory for that domain in order to not have my other domains on the same server affected.
I don’t know if it was directly from your script or from an ancillary script downloaded from your theme.
Here is the basic information that my hosting provider sent:
Attachment: none
Category: fraud
Date: 2020-09-16T22:48:09+00:00
Domain: stoners.org
Port: 443
Report-ID: takedown-response+11643142@netcraft.com
Report-Type: phishing
Reported-From: takedown@netcraft.com
Schema-URL: http://www.xarf.org/schema/fraud_0.1.4.json
Service: https
Source: https://www.stoners.org/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/vendor/en/login?netflix_id=ba7e0a454d3c349c86610bfd8&country=Poland&iso=PL
Source-Type: uri
User-Agent: Netcraft Takedown
I’m not sure if this was reported previously to you guys, but I was shocked when I saw the emails. Can you provide any insight as to why this would happen? I don’t want to install the theme again in case the same issue arises and my hosting company shuts me down. I’d prefer a refund if possible.
Thank you,
Hello !
I don’t think this is Newspaper Theme related since it doesn’t make any sense in why the newspaper theme would try to “hack” someone else. This is more likely happening because of your server being hacked by someone else.
We are able to offer you a refund if you make a request here: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new
We are sorry for the inconvenience !
Thank you !
