Over 90 WordPress themes and plugins have been infected with a backdoor.

The article discusses a serious security threat involving plugins and themes created by AccessPress Themes, which were found to contain a backdoor. A backdoor is a hidden way to access a system that allows remote individuals to take control of a website. The Jetpack team discovered these plugins and themes in 2021, and the issue became particularly concerning since it could lead to data leakage and malware. The consequences for website owners can be severe, including potential financial losses and the removal of their online assets. It is recommended that all website owners using these products update or remove them to protect their site and user data.
