That's a fascinating discovery about the dormant backdoor in the WordPress plugin. It's concerning how such threats can remain hidden for years, potentially giving attackers prolonged access to countless sites without raising suspicion. I wonder what detection methods or security practices could help identify these types of embedded threats earlier in the future.
