Cybersecurity researchers at Sucuri have shared their research on how WordPress vulnerabilities can jeopardize the system’s security and that usually already discovered flaws are used to compromise WordPress sites with multiple infections.
Researchers noted that outdated websites are highly likely to be exploited by multiple attackers, or the same hacker can target them using multiple channels. The latter scenario was recently identified by Sucuri’s researchers, who detected a database injection featuring two different malware embedded together to achieve two entirely different goals. Both the malware could be found scattered over a WordPress database.
