Security Company Sucuri reported that Google has now been blacklisted more then 11,000 Malware Infected WordPress domains and Over 1,00,000 Sites which have been affected by malware Campaign from Soaksoak.ru . The Site which use the theme plugin RevSlider have infected by malware, Soaksoak modified a file in the site's and loads Javascripts malware. One thing also interesting is that RevSlider is not often Used WordPress themes, So many Site owners don't know they are using the plugin or not or how th update it to prevent the malware attactk. Moreover, it’s not a plugin that’s easily updated, as Sucuri’s Daniel Cid points out:
“The biggest issue is that the RevSlider plugin is a premium plugin, it’s not something everyone can easily upgrade and that in itself becomes a disaster for website owner. Some website owners don’t even know they have it as it’s been packaged and bundled into their themes”


The User who visit such a sites will be redirected to a webpage and auto download malware onto their System. So to stop this Google's decided to block such a infected site immediately to stop spreading the malware. 

 Hey, If you think that your WordPress Site is also infected by the Soaksoak malware, then there are alots of resources in the WordPress to help you and correct such a problem. If you think you are safe then this is just a reminder to you that keep your WordPress website theme if you are using or Plugins always update in order to fully protected from such a malware or any other problem.
