Important Vulnerability on Advanced Custom Fields Plugin for WordPress

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.

To celebrate Cybersecurity Awareness month in October, we planned a special webinar to cover everything you need to know about how to protect your servers against unknown threats, specific types of attacks you may not know about, and why it matters more now than ever.

Join us on Tuesday, October 18 at 11 am EST / 5:00 pm GMT+2  for a conversation with Arianna Della Valle about her server security journey with hosting company Netsons. She’ll share the challenges Netsons faced, why change was critical, and how she’s been able to increase both productivity and profits.
