Another day, another high-profile Web hack. Password Reset Software industry, make sure your listening! According to industry journal Tech2, WordPress put up a blog post to confirm that there was indeed, an attempt to tamper with the data present on the website.

The WordPress blog post said hackers put three plug-ins on the blog site, namely AddThis, WPTouch and W3 Total Cache, with backdoors equally well placed.

“Earlier today the WordPress team noticed suspicious commits to several popular plugins (AddThis, WPtouch, and W3 Total Cache) containing cleverly disguised backdoors,” WordPress wrote. “We determined the commits were not from the authors, rolled them back, pushed updates to the plugins, and shut down access to the plugin repository while we looked for anything else unsavory.”

They forced a reset of all passwords on WordPress.org, explaining that to use the forums, trac, or commit to a plugin or theme, “you’ll need to reset your password to a new one. (Same for bbPress.org and BuddyPress.org.)”

It’s not a great year for online security—that much is true already. Industry website Security News Daily notes that it could be one of the worst ever, in fact.

 “Sony, the data-security firm RSA, Lockheed Martin (News - Alert), the email wholesaler Epsilon, the Fox broadcast network, NASA, PBS, the European Space Agency, the FBI, the British and French treasuries — and, just this morning, the banking and insurance giant Citigroup. What do all these organizations have in common? Along with dozens of other companies and government agencies, they were victims of massive network security breaches in the first six months of this year.”

As cybercrimes only continue to occur more frequently, ensuring that your password is strong and is reset often can help you to remain safe from attack.
