Guardio Labs, a cybersecurity firm, has identified a new threat called "EtherHiding" that targets WordPress websites. The attack involves embedding malicious code into blockchain contracts to siphon off partial payments. The attackers can modify their code and attack methods, making it difficult for traditional defense mechanisms to keep up.

WordPress sites are particularly vulnerable as they power an estimated 43% of all websites. The attackers use counterfeit browser updates to deliver malware, which can compromise sensitive data. It is essential for website administrators and blockchain users to implement robust security measures to protect their digital assets.
