Super dangerous plugin to leave installed – always delete after use
-
Although this is an incredible plugin, we have just had about 50 of our sites hacked by this plugin and now having to spend days cleaning up the mess this plugin’s vulnerability caused.
It is an incredible time saver when it comes to uploading and unzipping files (as opposed to command line or FTP) but I would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend deleting the plugin after each use.
