A researcher of Web security company Sucuri have discovered several malicious WordPress plugins that are being used for cryptocurrency with Linux binary code running behind.
Attackers have been using different names for these fake plugins, including ‘initiatorseo’ or ‘updrat123,’ the researchers said.
Although the plugins‘ code differs in terms of names, they do have several things in common: they have a similar structure and header comments from the popular backup/restore plugin UpdraftPlus.
The approaches in this attack are nothing new, but they do demonstrate how important it is to run a comprehensive malware clean.
