Default Wordpress sites under attack

More than 1.5 million pages defaced

More than 1.5 million Wordpress sites have been defaced after hackers took advantage of a vulnerability in the REST API, patched in WordPress version 4.7.2.

So far hackers have hit 39,000 unique domains. The attacks started after the flaw was reported on Monday by web security firm Sucuri.

Four groups of attackers defaced over 67,000 pages. The number grew to over 100,000 pages the next day and now web security firm WordFence claims the numbers have skyrocketed today to over 1.5 million pages.
