If you're using the Post SMTP plugin, you need to update to version 3.6.1 today.
Here's the issue: attackers can access your email logs without any authentication. Those logs contain password reset links. That means they can reset your admin password and take over your site.
Over 400,000 sites use this plugin. The vulnerability existed for 19 days before the patch was released. During that window, sites were exposed.
This is why weekly WordPress maintenance matters. Security patches don't come out on your schedule - they come out when developers discover vulnerabilities. If you're only checking monthly or when you remember, you're leaving gaps where your site is vulnerable.
If you manage your own site, log in today and check your plugins. If you use Post SMTP, update it now. If you're tired of having to track every security bulletin, that's what I'm here for.
Need to let people know you're away over the holidays without replying to every email? In this episode, Charly walks you through how to set up an auto-responder in Zoho Mail — perfect for small teams, community clubs, and businesses winding down for the festive season.
📌 You’ll learn:
✅ How to create filters that trigger auto-responses
✅ What subject lines and sender addresses to use
✅ Tips for customizing your message for holiday closures
✅ Why this is especially useful if your contact form is always active
✅ How to organize responses into folders and tag them for follow-up
🛡️ Bonus: Don’t forget to turn it off when you’re back in action to avoid confusion.
