yes @jdembowski please kindly allow me to change the topic title

@jdembowski I have figured out what happened with the help of @rpetersen29, it was a malware from my website, how can I change the thread title, now it seems too aggressive…

Thank you for the support @rpetersen29 I just found out a very old malware inside plugins folder, ccode.php, that injects popups. Have just cleared the website, it is strange that quttera and another websites didn’t find it.
Well, I am very sorry for any inconvenience I caused. I have just purchased your Pro version because your plugin is very usefull, congratulations for your work.
As a suggested feature for the future, the option to disable the banner for specific post types.
Please let me know what can I do to repair any mess I caused.
Thanks and best regards,
Rafael

OK, but @rpetersen29 don’t you think is it weird that two different people had the exact same problem today? I will keep monitoring this in case there is more. You had attacks in your plugin in the past, coundn’t it be happening again?

Hi @rpetersen29 can you please kindly explain what motivated you to move your open source plugin to a private repo?

this is the url https://github.com/rpetersen29/simple-banner

Thank you so much for the moderation Steve, I just took a deep breath ??
Sorry for anything @rpetersen29 I don’t want to harm your business.
But I need to warn there is someting really wrong with the plugin (and it is not the first time, since “Simple Banner” had vulnerability issues is the past and I found the many websites listing this plugin as causing websites to get hacked).
I just ran a full scan with the main websites (Quttera, etc) and thankfully no malware was found. I also installed a Malware detector plugin (“Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall”) and ran a full scan and nothing was found.
I will run some other tests with the plugin in a new, fresh and clean website and I will record videos of it. I will not stop until this case is solved, because someone is getting money redirecting people to undesired websites.
By the way @rpetersen29 please kindly let me know why you moved your code to a Private Repo. When we install this plugin and from inside wordpress click to know more about the website, it leads to a not found page.

It is cooked to happen only the first time! Then it will show no more popups. In practice, every user will be redirected to that website and the banner lost its purpose

It happened to my website. The steps to simulate this is:

Open a new browser in incognito mode
Adjust screen size as mobile (or do it in a mobile)
Open the webpage with simple banner with a link
Click the link
* please dont login as admin

A popup will open leaving to unwanted websites. Plugin is corrupted.

Please let me know when update will be released, having a lot of problems with new customers

Same here, user added fine but no courses listing. Also, at User Progress (Gradebook), some courses not showing progress.
