Over 1,000 WordPress sites have been compromised by malicious JavaScript that deploys four backdoors, allowing attackers persistent access even if one backdoor is detected. This attack has raised concerns among website owners regarding security vulnerabilities. Additionally, a massive botnet has emerged, reportedly powered by up to one million backdoored Android devices, which is capable of delivering record-size Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Cybercriminals are also exploiting a critical PHP flaw (CVE-2024-4577) to gain remote access to systems in Japan, affecting key sectors including technology, telecommunications, and e-commerce. In a separate incident, a malicious package on the Python Package Index (PyPI) has been downloaded over 1,000 times, stealing private keys and compromising Ethereum wallets. These incidents highlight the ongoing challenges in cybersecurity and the need for vigilance among developers and website administrators.
