WordPress Plugin – Yuzo Related Posts – is vulnerable to malware.

If you are using the Yuzo Related Posts WordPress plugin, please remove it from your WordPress installation ASAP.

We are starting to see customer websites that are using the plugin being redirected to malware websites.

There is currently NO PATCH available. Which means you HAVE TO remove the plugin.

Without going into to much detail:
The attacker calls this vulnerable plugin with certain parameters that in turn inserts code into the options of this plugin. That code currently seems to be javascript code that performs the various redirects to malware.

We have started to pro-actively implement additional protection into our Intrusion detection system to reduce the chance of a successful attack.
We have also began to scan all customers websites for this plugin and remove it if found. However, we of course prefer for you to login to your WordPress admin and remove it yourself as soon as possible.

If you have any questions or need help, please contact our support team as usual.

CHINAREGISTRY SCAM ALERT

We are receiving new reports of scam emails from the so-called Chinaregistry claiming that you are infringing on a trademark in China. (This scam is actually around for quite some time, but we did not see any recent reports. Until now.)
The emails look like this:

(Please forward this to your CEO, because this is urgent. Thanks)

We are the domain name registration service company in China. On Feb 26, 2019, we received an application from Kaijing Ltd requested “yourbrandname” as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names (yourbrandname.cn [http://yourbrandname.cn], yourbrandname.com.cn [http://yourbrandname.com.cn], yourbrandname.net.cn [http://yourbrandname.net.cn], yourbrandname.net.cn [http://yourbrandname.org.cn]). But after checking it, we find this name conflict with your company name or trademark. In order to deal with this matter better, it’s necessary to send email to you and confirm whether this company is your business partner in China?

These Chinaregistry scammers are trying to sell you domain registrations and “Brand Protection” products for inflated prices.

You can safely ignore their emails. As always, please do NOT click on any links in theses kinds of emails.
