Thanks for chiming in. I know you pride yourself on your knowledge and experience with security, and it’s appreciated.

That incident in particular was due to a lack of focus on product development for Backup Buddy, and one of the several important reasons why this rebrand is happening. We are sunsetting several of the tertiary products in order to focus more exclusively on Security, Backups, and Maintenance — our core offerings. Because we do know how important and valuable site security is.

Regarding protecting sites against such vulnerabilities — that was true at that time, iThemes Security did not provide that specific type of protection. Since then, we’ve partnered with Patchstack and are working on providing “virtual patching” through their excellent services. Our partnership with Patchstack is going to be more and more important over the next years.

So again, thank you for highlighting those issues, they are specifically things that we are focusing on resolving are part of our revamp of these products.
