Important Vulnerability on Advanced Custom Fields Plugin for WordPress

Welcome to the video recording of our interactive webinar on server security. CloudLinux Technical Account Manager Eric Ellis and Hivelocity Sr System Admin Eric Lewellen provide an overview of common server security ideas and engage in a lively debate about which ones matter and which ones don't.

We are happy to announce that Imunify adds Virtuozzo environment support and can run flawlessly with AlmaLinux and CloudLinux OS. This is excellent news for web hosting providers using these popular operating systems and virtualization platforms. Imunify360 has been thoroughly tested and is - officially supported, ensuring users can take advantage of its full range of features without any issues.

Companies are increasingly at risk for security breaches in 2023. We’ve seen hacks at some of the biggest companies recently – LastPast, and GoDaddy (to name a few). Join CloudLinux Technical Account Manager Eric Ellis and Hivelocity System Admin Eric Lewellen for an overview and some lively debate about some of the most common server security ideas – which ones matter and which ones don’t.

As a website owner, you understand the importance of keeping your site secure from the constantly growing cyber threats that lurk in the digital realm. While WordPress security plugins can offer some protection, they often fall short when compared to full-system security software. In this blog post, we'll delve into the limitations of WordPress security plugins and explain what you should look for in a security solution. 

By now you’ve probably heard about the latest breach at LastPass. (Yes, I said “latest” – as in “not the first.”)

Here’s a quick recap of the latest incident:

In December 2022, hackers broke into the FBI’s 80,000-member Infragard database posing as the CEO of a financial institution. InfraGard is an outreach program that keeps public officials and private sector actors informed of national security and cybersecurity threats that could impact critical US infrastructure. 

Once inside the database, the hacker communicated directly with members in an attempt to gain personal information. Although the FBI hasn’t offered specifics on how the hacker was able to manipulate the system, we do know they had some key pieces of personal information for the person they were impersonating.

The recent news about the security incident at GoDaddy is not limited to GoDaddy. The attack is multi-year and affects hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of accounts across multiple hosting providers. The criminals are deploying redirects and other malicious payloads. We at Imunify have observed and combated this widespread issue and have been addressing it through our Imunify360 security solution.

We are always working to make our Imunify products better, faster, and more secure. One of our key differentiators is our database malware scanner: a highly responsive and flexible tool that eliminates malware in real-time. Although it is the only scanner of its kind on the market, that doesn’t stop us from improving it, to keep upping our own game – even if we’re the only one we’re competing.

We’re wrapping up Cybersecurity Awareness Month with a webinar that’ll cover key tips to protect your servers from cyber attacks. Just in time for Halloween, we’ll dive deep into the online threats that lurk in the dark – and show you how to protect yourself from the dangers you can’t see.

An insider’s point of view is always valuable. Arianna Della Valle shared her perspective on server security with our own Eric Ellis in our webinar “Imunify360 Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Spotlight on Netsons” – now available on demand by clicking here.
