Erealitatea[.]net Hack Corrupts Websites with WP GDPR Compliance Plugin Vulnerability
We have noticed a growing number of WordPress-based sites that have had their URL settings changed to hxxp://erealitatea[.]net. Further investigations show that the issue is related to a security vulnerability in the WP GDPR Compliance plugin for WordPress (with 100,000+ active installations).
The new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) laws in the EU have made the plugin extremely popular. Many sites are looking for an easy way to comply with these new laws.
