There hasn’t been a system update for a while, so it’s time to catch up with everything we’ve been working on.
Better protection against malware admin accounts
One of the most common things attackers do after compromising a WordPress site is create a hidden admin account. Our EBN core plugin now automatically blocks these fake admin accounts from being created, so your blogs stay under your control.
Your plugins and themes are now scanned for known vulnerabilities
We’ve built a CVE scanner that checks the plugins and themes on your blogs against a database of known vulnerabilities. If something is outdated or has a known security issue, we catch it early, before it can be exploited.
Faster issue detection with improved monitoring
We’ve overhauled our server monitoring to catch problems earlier. This means less downtime and faster resolution when something does go wrong. You probably won’t notice a difference, and that’s the point.
Smarter malware detection
Our WordPress malware scanner has gotten a major upgrade. It’s now more accurate, produces fewer false positives, and is continuously updated with new detection rules. As new malware appears in the wild, we add rules to catch it, keeping your PBN protected against the latest threats.
Google bot visits (coming soon)
We’re working on a feature that will show you whether Google bot has visited your blogs. A Google bot visit doesn’t guarantee indexation, but it’s a strong signal. We’re currently testing this to make sure the data is reliable and useful before making it available to everyone.
Other fixes
- Backups now have a fallback: if the latest backup has an issue, we automatically try the previous week’s backup during restore.
- Upgraded our server infrastructure for better performance and security.
- Updated PHP security extensions to their latest versions.
- Optimised how WordPress cron jobs run across all blogs.
- Removed legacy PHP 7.4 support.
- A ton of smaller fixes and improvements behind the scenes.
Stay tuned!
