FBI Warns of ISIS Attacks on WordPress and Fake Gov't Web Sites

Quote:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is warning that individuals sympathetic to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shams (ISIS) are mass-defacing Websites using known vulnerabilities in WordPress.

The important part of the above statement is "using known vulnerabilities in WordPress"

Another call to sanity to make sure you stay up to date with any updates for WordPress and any plugins you have installed, as well as for any other script you may be running on your site

Quote:
The FBI also issued an unrelated PSA advising people to be wary of fake government Web sites set up to take advantage of search engine optimization techniques that try to get the sites listed prominently in search results when searching for government services online.
