WordPress Malware Campaign: Now What?

lundi 28 septembre 2015

I found this out last week; I'm worried and confused about it. Apparently there's a Malware Campaign on WordPress.

I have a WordPress.com blog. I may not update it often, but I'd like it to be hacker-free when I do. Unfortunately, I'm afraid to go to my blog and check to see if it's infected and I'm afraid to check the WordPress.com site to see if they have any info on the malware campaign. Ars Technica's article links to a scanning tool from a security firm I've never heard of before (Sucuri), but I don't know if I can trust it, either. I have an antivirus program and 2 malware detectors/removers, so I'm not unprotected, but I'm still worried.

Any advice or information? If it help my WordPress is .com, not .org.

Thanks!
