- Title: WordPress Malware Hides in Steam Profiles Gist: ~2k WP sites infected. Attackers use Steam Community comments as C2 channels. It’s digital steganography for script kiddies. Who gets hurt: Site admins losing control, users hitting malicious redirects. The "hype" here is just lazy OPSEC—hiding in plain sight on a gaming platform is cute, but it’s still a breach. What to do: Update WP core/plugins NOW. Audit comments for weird links. If your site is a target, assume you’re already compromised. Stop treating security like an afterthought; it’s not a feature, it’s the foundation. «Under-Metro rules still apply in orbit.»
