A few times a year we see very bad vulnerabilities come along.

Wordfence recently conducted a red team exercise on our own network.

This morning at 9am Pacific time we rolled out a new kind of firewall to over 1 Million active WordPress websites.

The Mossack Fonseca (MF) data breach, aka Panama Papers, is the largest data breach to journalists in history and includes over 4.8 million emails.

Update: We have written a follow-up post on how an attacker may have moved laterally on the network from WordPress into the email server.

There is a major vulnerability in a popular plugin with over 300,000 active installs: User Role Editor 4.24 and older.

Last week I spent some time chatting with Mike Dahn who is the co-founder of the BSides information security conferences globally.

We have several plugin vulnerabilities we’d like to bring to your attention this week.

This week our team is in San Francisco attending the RSA 2016 Security conference.

In a rather unfortunate turn of events earlier this month, the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center was infected with ransomware.
