“Earlier today the WordPress team noticed suspicious commits to several popular plugins (AddThis, WPtouch, and W3 Total Cache) containing cleverly disguised backdoors,” wrote Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress's parent firm Automattic, in a blog post. “We determined the commits were not from the authors, rolled them back, pushed updates to the plugins, and shut down access to the plugin repository while we looked for anything else unsavoury.”
He went on to say; “We’re still investigating what happened, but as a prophylactic measure we’ve decided to force-reset all passwords on WordPress.org.”
