Hi malware fighters,

Helps to protect: http://www.theseonewsblog.com/2020/wordpress-new-plugin-blocks-malicious-url-requests/

And an introduction to the problem to those that do not know about deceptive obfuscated malcoded url requests:

And filters won't always help, for instance , if a segmented request for a blocked pattern is fragmented in the middle of the pattern, it will not be matched....
