12,000 WordPress installations were compromised in February and used in Phishing campaigns that targeted Apple customers and PayPal users.

Even developers and active administrators can inadvertently expose WordPress-based projects to malicious acts, such as those who expose database backups to Google indexing. Last week EA, one of the world’s largest gaming companies, had one of their servers compromised and two of their domains used to initiate a Phishing attack against Apple customers.”]
