WordPress Used in DDoS Attack

Sundog Media March 24, 2014

WordPressAs part of our Managed Hosting and Annual WordPress Management Programs, Sundog Media monitors your website’s security constantly. Recently, online security researchers uncovered a distributed denial of service attack that used over 160,000 legitimate WordPress websites without the knowledge of their owners.

Upon learning of this security vulnerability, Sundog Media researched the issue and determined that for the vast majority of our hosted sites, disabling the pingback vulnerability at the theme/code level was the most secure option. The Sundog Team is in the process of updating all of our hosted sites over the next few weeks. To learn more about this security issue, check out Computer Weekly’s article here »

Are you covered by Sundog Media’s management plan? If you manage your own site and would like to know more about how we disabled pingbacks to secure our sites, drop us a line. If you’d like to enroll in our program so your site will be protected in the future, contact us.

Stone Soup Group could not be more pleased with our end product! We had a lot of ideas, and a few different populations to reach with just one site. Sundog helped us figure out what was possible, and built tools to best meet our audience’s needs (all while making it look pretty)!   . . .

After nearly a year of owning a domain but never finding the time to actually build content, we decided to reach out to Sundog Media for help and it was the best decision we ever made. Joe and his team were so helpful and gave us incredible ideas on how our website can make our business more efficient and user-friendly. I strongly recommend Sundog Media to anyone looking to have a professional website built for them at a reasonable cost.

Vellum, LLC

We wanted a website that distinguished ourselves from other law firms, a website that was more than a mere online brochure, and one that was built on a new platform called Jekyll. Joe Law and his team at Sundog Media delivered exactly what we wanted within our budget. You can’t get any better than that. Thanks Sundog for your great work.
