    Do you have any reason to suspect this plugin?

    Plugins Last Updated Column, Version 0.0.8 by Fastmover lists this plugin as a red updated app. It was last updated on 2015-07-30 which is 3 years, 1 month and 10 days ago.

    I’ve been getting 163 dot com spam for ages and heaps of spam from Russian email addresses too so I have been trying to pinpoint where it comes from. This plugin hasn’t been updated for a long time so I wanted to check if it follows all the latest security trends.

    I know there is a security problem somewhere in WordPress but just can’t find it at the moment. I figure if this plugin is checked and updated if needed it will help pinpoint the origin of the spam.

    Beside this, maybe the only other check I can do is make test websites with just one plugin installed and wait to see if they get spammed.

    Sorry if this seems like a strange question, but I’d just like to check if using this slightly old plugin is secure. The function is wonderful though.

    Is this spam coming through your website contact form or directly to your email address?

    Yes, through the contact form as far as I can see.
