Saw this on a client site:
/wp-content/updraft/emptydir/admin.php
full of malware code, what is this folder created by Updraft doing anyways? and why so easy to add malware inside that folder.ChristinaGuestwhy is this folder installed by Updraft? they don’t say.
ScottGuestDamn. Is Updraft getting exploited?
JoseGuestNot the first time. Been happening for a few years at least:
AlbertGuestWe’ll also extract and copy the public_html/index.php file from the old backup to the server, because the existing one looks weird (it contains a PHP @include directive to include the file /home/username/public_html/wp-content/updraft/emptydir/.684f3ddd.ico using some octal escapes (\nnn) to unnecessarily (they were standard ASCII characters) specify some of the characters in the file name.
MichelleGuestSome shady results on Google serps also infected
ChristianGuestweird.
KevinGuestis this Updraft’s fault? or some permissions thing that is allowing malware to put files in there as a convenient location sort of like the /wp-content/upgrade/ folder or something???
