Hackers are targeting a WordPress Core remote code execution vulnerability that can expose websites during software updates.
Summary
The supplied Wordfence threat intelligence snapshot lists 60,471 blocked attempts over 24 hours. These are attack attempts, not confirmed website compromises, and the figure does not establish how many individual sites were targeted.
This is a brief wire summary, the full story (linked below) has the complete details.
KazaSec's take
Incidents like this rarely start with the headline event itself, they usually trace back to an exposed remote-access endpoint, an unpatched perimeter system, or a credential phished weeks earlier. The organizations that recover fastest are the ones that tested their defenses and their incident response plan before they needed them.
