Beware spammer and maybe hacker

  • I was using this plugin until the last update.

    I didn’t know WPMU and so I registered as proposed by the new version of Broken Link checker.

    But after the registration, they ask to provide the login and password for your site, a thing of course out of question for any serious webmaster so I stopped there.

    But I received after dozens of emails from WPMU and even though I unsubscribed from their list, I still received some and I had to put them in the spam folder.

    This looks like a trap and people who start using WordPress could give their logins and password to this organization.

    WordPress should remove a plugin that threatens the security of webmasters.

  • Hey @pierreto

    Thank you for the feedback, though we are sorry to hear that you’ve had any issues with the new version of Broken Link Checker.

    I’d like to clarify that we do not store wp login information, and during the connection of your site the following note is displayed:
    We don’t store your login information, so it’s 100% safe and secure.

    You also don’t need to have the WPMU DEV Dashboard plugin and connection to HUB to still use the old engine/old version of the plugin. After the recent update, you can use/switch to the old version within the plugin’s settings which is still a part of the core of Broken Link Checker.

    Regarding unsubscribing from our newsletter, we’re sorry if you had any issues with this! Please do not hesitate to reach us at [email protected] if you continue receiving emails and we will be more than happy to help.

    Hopefully, we will be able to turn your experience around.

    Regards,

    Dave
