Experts urge WordPress owners to check
With over 400,000 total installs and more than 20,000 active sites using these plugins, a lot of websites were put at risk just because of a change in plugin ownership.
This is actually the second similar incident in as many weeks.
Security experts are reminding everyone to double-check for any weird or unknown plugins on their sites.
As Ginder put it, WordPress owners should check whether they still have one of the malicious plug-ins installed and remove it.
