To publish this story and a recommendation to "deactivate [WPML] until the company pushes an update to patch the security vulnerabilities. " before finding out whether it was a vulnerability in WPML or not is extremely irresponsible.

A perfectly legitimate company has been harmed by a malicious ex-employee, and the harm has now been exacerbated by terrible journalism.

I hope a correction will be published that reaches at least as many people as the original story.
