    Dear users of this plugin,

    I recently got a report that this plugin is being impersonated by referrer malware. The malware may use the name of “PHP Everywhere Support” and may use the developer name “Alexander Fuchs”. The malware was observed to use the file path “wp-content/plugins/plugs/plugs.php”, but may be using a different path or name depending on the infection of the site.

    Neither me as a developer nor this plugin are related to this malicious attack. And I am personally disappointed in the abuse of a non-profit open-source project for such things.

    Based on what I know so far, the malware will add itself as a separate plugin. If you suspect to be infected by the malware, you can uninstall all plugins with “PHP Everywhere” in their name and reinstall the official “PHP Everywhere” plugin from the WordPress plugin directory.

    Feel free to post any questions under this post.

    Thanks for using this plugin and your continued support.

    Alexander Fuchs
