Sucuri Security researchers are warning about a massive compromise of WordPress sites sporting malicious JavaScript leading visitors to malware.

The discovery was made on Sunday, when Google blacklisted over compromised 11,000 domains. After poking around a bit, the researchers discovered that most of the affected hosts are running WordPress.



Sucuri researchers are urging site administrators to check whether their sites have been compromised with this or other malware via their free website malware and security scanner.

Attackers embedding backdoors into image files

Attackers embedding backdoors into image files | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.csoonline.com - July 18, 2013 5:33 PM
Sucuri researchers find hackers are using a known, but unusual, way to maintain access to an already compromised server by hiding backdoors inside the headers of legitimate image files
Gust MEES's insight:

 

Watch log files for command instances, such as file creation and modification. However, the key point is to stay on top of updates, especially for platforms such as WordPress and Joomla, which are popular targets for attackers and constantly updated in order to address security concerns.

Hackers turn 162,000 WordPress sites into DDoS attack tools

Hackers turn 162,000 WordPress sites into DDoS attack tools | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.v3.co.uk - March 11, 2014 10:42 AM
Legitimate sites forced to aid criminals' illicit botnet operations


Hackers have hijacked more than 162,000 legitimate WordPress sites, connecting them to a criminal botnet and forcing them to mount distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, according to security firm Sucuri.


Sucuri CTO Daniel Cid said the company uncovered the botnet when analysing an attack targeting one of its customers. Cid said Sucuri managed to trace the source of the attack to legitimate WordPress sites.

"The most interesting part is that all the requests were coming from valid and legitimate WordPress sites. Yes, other WordPress sites were sending random requests at a very large scale and bringing the site down," read the blog.
