Hackers have stolen “sensitive bits” of source code after accessing several WordPress.com servers
There were red faces at WordPress.com after a hacker gained access to multiple servers, and stole the source code that powers the blogs for its VIP customers, including the likes of CNN, CBS, and Flickr. This attack follows a distributed-denial-of-service attack that knocked WP offline last month.
The “low-level” break-in on several WordPress.com servers gave the attacker the highest level of access to all of the information stored on the systems, Matt Mullenweg, founder of Automattic, wrote on the WordPress.com corporate blog on 13 April. The root-level attack may have the biggest impact on the VIP customers because the source code for VIP customers was exposed.
