    The affected plugins and their versions are:

    PublishPress Capabilities
    Kiwi Social Plugin
    Pinterest Automatic
    WordPress Automatic

    The targeted Epsilon Framework themes are:

    Shapely
    NewsMag
    Activello
    Illdy
    Allegiant
    Newspaper X
    Pixova Lite
    Brilliance
    MedZone Lite

    Read the article for more details and information about how to avoid problems.

    Note that the mods normally don't allow "my site was hacked" posts but refer the member back to their webhost.

      I would certainly not recommend that. Especially if you are using plugins like Yoast that push out bugs constantly in their updates.
