Guest alme Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 And can you tell me why my account got suspended in the first place? Thanks.
wolstech Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 This account has a compromised WordPress installation that has been affected by the recent AnonymousFox hack and cannot be unsuspended. An invitation will be sent to you shortly so you can create a new account. Please restore your data using a backup. The data from your old account cannot be recovered or returned to you due to the possibility of the account having been used for Phishing. As a reminder, we highly recommend that users not use WordPress. WP and it's extensions are notorious for having security issues such as the one you (and everyone else on Tommy) experienced, and it has the worst security track record of any CMS out there. Using a different program will help prevent this from happening again.
Guest alme Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 I never install Wordpress to my site, so how could AnonymousFox affect my account?
wolstech Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 It also affects a few other CMSes, so not having WP doesn't necessarily mean you won't get hit, though it greatly reduces your chances. We know that most if not all WP installs got hit (several hundred), whereas only 2 joomla installs got hit, 1 Drupal, and a bunch that were simply described in the hacker's data as "other" targets.
