Hackers are actively exploiting recently patched security flaws in WordPress software, potentially compromising tens of millions of websites. A cybersecurity researcher estimates the scale of potential breaches.
Two critical security flaws within WordPress’ software have created an opportunity for hackers to remotely take over a significant number of websites. According to an estimate by a cybersecurity researcher, tens of millions of sites are currently at risk.
The exploitation targets vulnerabilities that were recently addressed through patches released by the WordPress team. Despite these fixes, attackers are actively scanning for and exploiting systems that have not yet been updated. The reason hackers are targeting these flaws is to gain remote control over vulnerable websites.
The researcher’s estimate suggests a widespread issue, highlighting the importance of promptly applying security updates. Website administrators are urged to ensure their WordPress installations are up-to-date to mitigate the risk of compromise.
