StopAndProtect Uses Nearly 2,000 Hacked WordPress Sites to Spread Malware and Steal Data
Matched: WordPress
A cybercrime operation called StopAndProtect has compromised nearly 2,000 WordPress sites to distribute malware and collect stolen data. Rather than using a single malware strain, the campaign deploys a full toolkit of criminal software, using the hacked sites as infrastructure to spread infections, control compromised systems, and store stolen documents, screenshots, and activity logs.
