Wordpress backdoors lead to password resets
THREE PLUG-INS used by the Wordpress blogging and web design software have been compromised, prompting the firm to issue the suggestion that its users reset their passwords as a precautionary measure.
The warning is wise indeed, especially since groups like Lulzsec have taken account hijacking to a fine art, and it was released quickly by the firm after it noticed "suspicious activity".
"Earlier today the WordPress team noticed suspicious commits to several popular plugins (AddThis, WPtouch, and W3 Total Cache) containing cleverly disguised backdoors. We determined the commits were not from the authors, rolled them back, pushed updates to the plugins, and shut down access to the plugin repository while we looked for anything else unsavory," said the firm in a blog post by Matt Mullenweg.
"We're still investigating what happened, but as a prophylactic measure we've decided to force-reset all passwords on WordPress.org. To use the forums, trac, or commit to a plugin or theme, you'll need to reset your password to a new one. (Same for bbPress.org and BuddyPress.org.)"
The warning also includes the often repeated, but always timely reminder that users should not use the same password across multiple web sites or accounts. Although it is much easier that way it is by no means a secure way of protecting your online identity.
"As a user, make sure to never use the same password for two different services, and we encourage you not to reset your password to be the same as your old one," added Mullenweg.

Plays on volume & proportion require the body to traverse a series of delayed thresholds creating 2 or 3 mains points of discovery as height and volume are compressed and expanded within this single fronted victorian terrace. These spatial rhythms are similarly overlayed & integrated with the change in language from period facade through to the new intervention at the rear.
