Episode 66: New Plugin Vulnerabilities & Succeeding as a Digital Nomad with Chloe at WCPHX

It has been a busy week in WordPress security with active attacks on a number of plugins including ThemeRex Addons and Theme Grill Demo Importer plugins. In this week’s Think Like a Hacker, we look at what’s happening, review what a zero-day vulnerability is, and give you some advice on keeping WordPress installations clean and safe. We also look at a vulnerability uncovered in the wpCentral plugin installed on over 60,000 sites, a WHO phishing attack, and Malwarebytes’ State of Malware report.

At WordCamp Phoenix, Wordfence Threat Analyst Chloe Chamberland spoke to a packed room of attendees looking to learn more about how she succeeds working remotely as a digital nomad. Her talk starts at 19:13 if you’d like to skip ahead, though we recommend watching the YouTube video of her talk to see Chloe’s travel photos and audience interaction. Links to that video and all of the news items are available in the show notes on wordfence.com/podcast.
