PHISHING & malware on outdated Word Press website...
« on: July 20, 2017, 06:18:11 PM »
Checked with malzilla and found redirecting, after redirect got these scan results: https://aw-snap.info/file-viewer/?protocol=not-secure&tgt=evakuatorsar.ru&ref_sel=GSP2&ua_sel=ff&fs=1
Outdated Word Press CMS: WordPress Version 4.5.9 - Version does not appear to be latest

Warning User Enumeration is possible
The first two user ID's were tested to determine if user enumeration is possible.

ID   User   Login
1   None   baddoctor64
2      None
It is recommended to rename the admin user account to reduce the chance of brute force attacks occurring. As this will reduce the chance of automated password attackers gaining access. However it is important to understand that if the author archives are enabled it is usually possible to enumerate all users within a WordPress installation.

Certification of the hosting server -  *.mchost.ru Go Daddy intermediate and a tested Cert.
Warnings
Root installed on the server.
For best practices, remove the self-signed root from the server.
