Your plugin is being breached again
by cedaly1968·9 years ago
Customize Admin keeps being inserted into my WordPress admin and then rootuser is inserted into MySQL. Customize Admin was put on my site ONCE by me and I had some issues so I removed it. During that install, there must have been a virus inserted elsewhere in WordPress because the plugin is reinstalling itself. The virus brought our server down the other day because it consumed all of the disk space. When it took off, there were literally hundreds of IP’s pinging other malicious files placed on our server.

Stay AWAY!!

This plug-in keeps installing itself somehow and adding root users and admins. Repeated removals of this plug-in, but it keeps coming back, and we’re not sure how. All other plug-ins are updated, and secure.
This message keeps coming from my host:
This is an urgent message concerning your 1&1 account. Our anti-virus scanner has reported that a malicious file has been uploaded to your 1&1 webspace.
Name of the file: ~/*****/wp-content/plugins/customize-admin/info.php
To protect you from hacker attacks, our anti-virus scanner checks every file that is uploaded or modified. If a file exhibits malicious patterns, it is automatically disabled.
The plug-in is malicious. Do NOT install.
Nice replacement for multiple plugins
by eric4·12 years ago
The Customize Admin plugin works great and replaces these 3 plugins:
1. Login Logo
2. One Click Logout
3. Send From
Would be nice if we could set login logo size (it’s now 80×80), otherwise perfect. Thank you!
