I'm absolutely fed up with having to clean up documents which get mangled by members of my team and filled with manual formatting. Some even have manually numbered clauses in them.

I spent 90 minutes this morning showing them how use styles to cleanly apply a consistent format. None of them had used styles before.

Doesn't help that Word hides styles and presents manual formatting buttons instead.

Don't even get me started on the bloody ribbon at the top of the screen!

Analysis of a Malicious WordPress Plugin: The Covert Redirector

A malicious WordPress plugin named 'wordpress-player.php' has been discovered, affecting at least 26 websites. The plugin injects a hidden HTML5 video player and establishes a WebSocket connection to a command and control server. It redirects visitors to suspicious websites after 4-5 seconds, avoiding execution for logged-in users. The malware uses a fake 'WordPress Core' author name to evade detection. It impacts website integrity through unauthorized redirects, SEO degradation, and potential security risks to visitors. Mitigation steps include thorough scanning, malware removal, credential resets, software updates, and implementing a Web Application Firewall.
