    A dryer analysis from Wordfence.

    Pipdig's response is that these are actually features (which just happen to be obfuscated in the code and are able to nuke your database), a claim which makes them either terrible liars or terrible developers. They also erased the history of some of their repos.

    I've heard that cranking out sites with WordPress is easy money, but the state of WordPress plugins is a headache that I'd like to preserve my sanity by avoiding.
