The Security Box, podcast 79: This App is completely safe to use

The technology blog and podcast and TSB

Welcome to podcast 80 of the Security box. On this edition, let's talk about Wordpress. While it is a good platform for people to use for web sites and even blogging as I do, it can come with risks we need to be aware of. Part of those risks include keeping it up to date and of course the plug ins you install. A lot of plugins can be found through the install section of your plug ins management facility, but you can also install plugins manually. The article we're going to cover today comes to us from Ars Technica and was sent by our godd friend, Michael. Supply chain attack used legitimate WordPress add-ons to backdoor sites is the article. I hope that you find the discussion of interest, and if you saw the write up, you found it of value. We'll also touch on other things blogged as well as ask any audience members what they learned and/or read during our discussion today. Remember, you can always contact me through the tech blog or even through the show's contact info as well. Thanks so much for listening, and make it a great day!
