  Hi Tony,

  The original document published by Drweb is available here https://vms.drweb.com/virus/?i=25604745
  As you can see in this document, the main focus of this trojan is to attack WordPress websites by exploiting vulnerabilities in outdated versions of plugins and themes. If you are using an outdated version of Brizy or aother plugin or a theme, you may have a reason to be concerned.

  We recommend these precautions to ensure you are safe

  1. Ensure that you are not using outdated versions of Brizy or another plugin.
  2. We have discontinued the Brizy Starter theme. In case you are using the Brizy starter theme, please consider changing to one of these themes which are being regularly updated. https://www.brizy.io/theme-partners
  3. If you want to be more cautious, you can also consider installing a security plugin like Wordfence
