WordPress Plugin Attack

  • Hi All,

    I’m not a WordPress user but our website has suddenly received a lot of bogus traffic from thousands of IP addresses.

    After researching the cause, it seems that the one thing in common is that all of the bogus traffic only comes from WordPress websites. The traffic appears to be accessing one of our APIs, for no apparent reason.

    I’m not sure if the traffic is intentional or if it’s due to a buggy WordPress plugin.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sincerely,
    Joe Moreno

  • I just was notified about this from a host for one of my clients. Its an old version of tweetbacks plugin causing issues. The new version of this plugin I see doesn’t check your site. I have turned off the plugin for my client so it doesn’t access your site.
