File contains suspected malware in Contact Form 7

Note: do not click the links to trans lat onli ne. com in this post, as the site is currently infected.

[Moderator note: then don’t make it clickable by wrapping it in code buttons and adding spaces. ]

The Wordfence security plugin is showing me the same message. The issue is not in the WordPress site or the Contact Form 7 plugin; it’s simply that Contact Form 7’s Readme contains a URL that Google has flagged as a malware site. Here are the details from Wordfence:

File contains suspected malware URL: /home2/optimwis/public_html/globalpartssource/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/readme.txt
Filename: wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/readme.txt
Bad URL: https://www.t r a nslatonline.com/)
This file contains a suspected malware URL listed on Google’s list of malware sites. Wordfence decodes base64 when scanning files so the URL may not be visible if you view this file. The URL is: https://www.tra ns lato nline.com/) – More info available at Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page.

Google does show “This site may harm your computer.” below https://ww w. t r a n s l a t o n l i ne.com.

Thank you for reporting this. I just emailed to the owner of the problematic site (Armenian translator). Hopefully he can fix it soon.

Hello,

Please let me know when or how it will be fixed.

Thanks,

Asif

I don’t know as I’m not the owner of the site.

Look at the spelling… I believe that the site is misspelled. There’s no “I” before the “o” and after the “t”.

This problem has been resolved. The site is safe now.
