Is the Plugin Abandoned?

The plugin is still available on their website, but not in the plugins directory anymore.
The last update was on the 13th of April, not it’s definitely not abandoned.

The plugin is working perfeclty, wordpress removed it because its developers are from a very distant place, a big and very cold country (I write it this way with the intention of maybe escaping moderation), but there was no problem with the plugin and no vulnerability. Just politics.

@jubilo?: so how you explain this https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tags/russian/ ?

@li-an First of all I agree with the actions of WordPress as its ecosystem its rules, that in the first place.

Secondly your link further confirms my argument, how can I explain that to you? Simple:

Here we have 18 plugins. (Your reasoning is wrong to begin with, as the tag “Russian” is not the best way to search for the country of development.)

Of those 18 plugins, 14 plugins, if 14 have not received updates for at least 2 years, there is even 1 that was last updated in 13 years, plus 11 years without updates and 9 years without updates.

Remaining only 4 plugins active and available in the WordPress ecosystem.

Those 4 plugins are only support for Cyrillic alphabet or Russian translation.
So they are only 4 language plugins

WP Cerber is a much more advanced plugin than this, I dare to say that it is far superior to Wordfence and all others available in the WordPress ecosystem on security.

You can understand the danger of this kind of plugins that work with telemetry and also offers an all-in-one control hub where you can link several sites to one.

This makes it a potential danger (of course we don’t trust Ru*****sian developers anymore as this was never a problem before the war****a).

So my friend, your link only further confirms my statement with a tangential argument. Moreover, I know from good sources that this decision was taken for reasons of “”””trust””””

@li-an For the avoidance of doubt: I am not Ru*****sian, I have no links whatsoever with Rus************sia.

What’s more, my work depends on Finland and Germany, but that doesn’t mean we are going to ignore reality or try to cover our fingers with the sun.

WordPress Org is within its rights to block whatever it wants in its ecosystem, I don’t deny that. But we work with the truth.

Hi folks, @jubilo

1. The plugin is not abandoned. Our current focus is devoted to our PRO users, but the forthcoming free version will be made available soon.
2. The plugin and all its affiliated matters bear no association with RU. There was a time when one of the devs was from that country, however, our team is now comprised of folks from several other countries. The head is in the US.
3. In the near future, we plan to divulge information on the genesis of WP Cerber, its history, and potential future trajectory. Stay tuned.

Well, you should explain the real reasons in first comment, so I won’t have answered. WP.org, as a lot of people, is confronted to a relative new situation since WP creation?: an illegal war made by a big power, a power what may make war through WP and it’s plugins.

@gioni Thank you very much for the clarification, great job.!

@gioni thanks for that.
