DollyWay World Domination: The Sneaky Malware Invading 20,000 WordPress Sites
Meet DollyWay: the malware operation that makes Bond villains look like amateurs. Since 2016, it has hijacked 20,000 WordPress sites, redirecting users to shady destinations. With advanced evasion and auto-reinfection, DollyWay v3 is a digital Houdini. GoDaddy researchers are on the case, but this malware is as persistent as glitter after a party.
Hot Take:
Move over, James Bond villains! “DollyWay” is the new mastermind in town, and it’s got more moves than a disco dancer at Studio 54. The internet’s own “World Domination” tour is here, and it’s not selling concert tickets; it’s redirecting users to shady sites faster than you can say ‘clickbait.’ Who knew malware could be so persistent? It’s the glitter bomb of the cyber world—pretty from afar, but a total mess up close.
