  Hi Terry,

  We have looked at the original report of Dr.Web at https://vms.drweb.com/virus/?i=25604745. The main functionality of the trojan application is to attack websites based on the WordPress CMS by exploiting vulnerabilities in outdated versions of plugins and themes. The attack is planned through outdated versions of different plugins and themes.

   

  Brizy customers who are on the latest Brizy versions should not be under any threat. Please ensure to use the latest Brizy versions to minimize the risk of attacks.

  If anyone is worried, I suggest installing a good security plugin such as Wordfence. In the case of this exploit, you should block 45.9.148.48 which is the IP of the control server as of this moment in time.
