Security Issue

[Dawn]

Got this from Sitelock recently. Might be a security issue. Let me know if you are aware and what is being done to resolve. Thanks.

Hi Dawn,

Thanks for contacting us — we take security very seriously and will of course investigate and report back to you 🙂

We did already receive a very similar report earlier today (though it seemed to be from a different person) by email and have already begun to work on this, so we should be able to update you before too long.

I would like to take a moment to note that email is indeed our preferred means of dealing with reports like this: as you can imagine, if a report containing valid methods of compromising a website are posted publicly the results may be less than satisfactory for a great many website operators. For that reason, I have redacted your post and removed any details from public view.

Thanks again for highlighting this and we’ll update you with our findings in due course.

Hi Dawn,

Thanks once again for bringing this issue to our attention.

After further investigation we believe the automated report you shared to have contained false positives and so will not be taking any more steps on this one.

If you have any questions or concerns about this, however, please feel free to let me know 🙂

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
