    Hi everyone,

    Several days ago our website, applicantes.com, suffered an virus attack. We consulted to our server provider and tell us that the attack came trough the connections plugin code.

    Now we have restored the site but we don´t know if we could install the plugin again with the cmap plugin.

    Do you know if there is a similar case in other sites? Do you know any solution? Shall we install some kind of security plugin for malware?

    I am looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks

    Sorry, there’s no reports of any security related issues with Connections. If your host discovered a vulnerability they should report it to me immediately so it can be dealt with immediately. Since they have not reported anything as of yet to me, can you please request that they do so immediately. So I can address the issue if it is Connections related.

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately this does tell me much. Just a couple links to of the theme files and a link to a file in cMap and Connections.

    What follows just appears to be a segment of an access log from 5-26-2013; about midnight according to the server time. All this tells me that someone with an IP address belonging to the GVT Cable company, likely a subscriber, used the plugin editor in the WordPress admin and made a change to the cMap file using the Safari or Chrome browser.

    Are there no other details?
