WordPress Woes: When ‘ClickFix’ Turns into Malware Madness!
Cybersecurity researchers are raising alarms over a campaign targeting WordPress sites with malicious JavaScript injections. This operation redirects users to suspicious sites, making you feel like your browser is running an underground marathon without your consent. Time to update your passwords and maybe your luck!
Hot Take:
Who knew WordPress could be a hacker’s playpen? It’s like the digital version of leaving your front door unlocked, and now, JavaScript gremlins are sneaking in to throw sketchy parties.
