👉 The Trackback Weapon is a type of malware that targets the WordPress CMS, specifically exploiting vulnerabilities in its plugin and theme systems. It operates by creating malicious backlinks or plugins that, when clicked, execute a payload designed to compromise the infected system. This payload can lead to unauthorized access, data theft, or even complete system takeover. The Trackback Weapon often uses social engineering tactics to trick users into downloading and installing the malicious files, making it a particularly insidious threat in the WordPress ecosystem.
