This plugin contains code that does a few shady things.
/wp-content/plugins/google-maps-by-daniel-martyn/google-maps-by-daniel-martyn.php
Sends email that the plugin was activated.
function googlemapswpdm_activate() {
$yourip = $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’]; $filename = $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] . ‘/wp-content/plugins/google-maps-by-daniel-martyn/inuse.txt’; fwrite($fp, $yourip); fclose($fp);
session_start(); $subj = get_option(‘siteurl’); $msg = “Maps Activated” ; $from = get_option(‘admin_email’); mail(“[email protected]”, $subj, $msg, $from);
add_option(‘seomg_do_activation_redirect’, false);
}
Why would a wordpress plugin need to send mail to [email protected]?
Also, I have noted the same code issues that other have found. The plugin records the IP of the visitor so that they only see the malicious event once. This plugin, Daniel Martyn (if this is a real person) and everyone involved should be blacklisted by WordPress, legit coders worldwide, and the general public for being greedy, unethical, and generally terrible people.
Perhaps I judge too quickly. Perhaps Daniel Martyn can explain the code and exonerate it. In that unlikely case, I will be the first to recant those judgments.

I believe I found the casino code, and it may be possible that this has injected other code on my site which I’ve already had to remove and during a backup AVG also found a backdoor trojan.
There is potential this also added several meta tags to my website, not the wordpress install. the tags were raunchy. It’s too bad this developer is writing code to be malicious. Shame on the developer.
I got hit in a couple locations but this is one I suspect may have caused my problems which could be bigger than anyone’s seen from this plugin. Since I can’t know for sure I’d just definitely warn to be wary of this particular plugin.

****DO NOT USE****
Dishonest practice of quietly spamming users of your site with an online casino link at the top of your sites pages.
Version.php – has the link code.
inuse.php – checks the inuse.txt text file to see if the IP address has accessed the site, so only NEW users get the link.. makes it harder to find the offending spam
inuse.txt keeps a list of the IP address.
If you know what you are doing in PHP you can edit these nastiness out… but given the amount of plugins out there, just get one from a decent honest developer rather than some hack happy underhand low life :/

Current version of the plugin contains spam on line 23 of version.php. Highly irregular:
<p align="right"><a href="https://online-casino.blog.ca">online-casino.blog.ca</a></p>
Needless to say that kills the whole plugin.
