StopAndProtect Uses Nearly 2,000 Hacked WordPress Sites to Spread Malware and Steal Data
Check Point details StopAndProtect: ~2,000 compromised WordPress sites deliver ClickFix fake-CAPTCHA malware toolkit combining ransomware, credential theft, screenshots, and WhatsApp surveillance.
Check Point researcher Jaromír Hořejší reports the campaign begins with ClickFix fake-CAPTCHA prompts that trigger a PowerShell command, then two .NET downloader stages that launch six components: SilentEncryptor, NetworkShareScanner, a VBS spreader, LockScreen, SimpleChatProxy, and SilentDataCollector. Hacked WordPress sites host malware stages, serve C2 commands, and receive exfiltrated logs; the actors installed a self-deleting WordPress plugin enabling arbitrary PHP upload anywhere under the WordPress root. From mid-May to late July 2026 the operators exfiltrated more than 700 archives including screenshots every 30 seconds, keylogger output, and WhatsApp contact data, and opsec failures exposed their Visual Basic automation tooling and lists of nearly 2,000 compromised domains.

Brevo supply chain attack hits 100k+ sites with Wordpress backdoors and Clickfix malware
Attackers with Brevo DNS access injected malicious scripts serving ClickFix malware and WordPress backdoors to over 100,000 customer sites on 14 September 2026.
Brevo (formerly Sendinblue), an email marketing platform whose clients include eBay, Louis Vuitton, Michelin and Amnesty International, served injected JavaScript from sendibt1.com domains between 16:05 and 20:12 UTC on 14 September 2026, reaching over 100,000 customer sites and mailing lists. The f.js malware secretly installed a WordPress backdoor plugin from cdn10.sendibt1.com/p/wm.zip using logged-in admins' sessions and showed ClickFix overlays urging visitors to copy-paste and run commands. An SSL certificate for cdn.sendibt1.com created August 25 and attacker-created cdn* DNS records indicate write access to Brevo's Cloudflare DNS, likely via a single Cloudflare account compromise. Sansec recorded 2,549 CSP violation reports across 12 monitored sites; all malicious hosts stopped resolving on 15 September and Brevo's status page lists no incident.

Acronis Backup Plugin Vulnerability Exploited in the Wild to Gain Elevated Linux Privileges
Acronis patched CVE-2026-87886 (CVSS 7.8), a local privilege escalation flaw in its cPanel & WHM backup plugin already exploited in targeted attacks.
Acronis released an urgent update for CVE-2026-87886 (CVSS 7.8), an insecure file permissions issue (CWE-276) in its Backup plugin for cPanel & WHM that lets a low-privileged local user elevate privileges on Linux servers. The company confirmed exploitation in limited, targeted attacks against cPanel & WHM deployments; the Plesk extension is also affected but no exploitation was observed there. Fixes are version 1.9.3 HF3 (build 1.9.3.1021 or later) for cPanel & WHM and 1.8.11 (build 1.8.11.638 or later) for Plesk.

When scanners miss the attack: how Cloudflare Client-Side Security protects storefronts
Cloudflare's Page Shield ML uncovered four malicious JavaScript campaigns on storefronts, including affiliate fraud and a remote-backdoor script, that VirusTotal and URLScan missed.
Cloudflare's Page Shield ML detected four client-side JavaScript operations (eight payloads) in live traffic on online storefronts, enabling affiliate commission hijacking, clickless affiliate theft via hidden iframes, user tracking with a remote-code backdoor, and cloaking of paid mobile visitors. Seven of the eight payloads were absent from VirusTotal and URLScan returned no malicious verdict for any, including a Lnkr-family payload indexed unclassified for roughly 2.5 years. Detection relies on a graph neural network over JavaScript syntax trees, an LLM second opinion on Workers AI, and a frontier-model ensemble voting across benign, magecart, other malware, and cryptomining labels.
