[WordPress Security] Plugin Banned for Crypto Mining

A few minutes ago we published a blog post which discusses a plugin that was recently removed from the WordPress.org repository for mining crypto currency.

In the post we explain what the plugin actually did and we include a quote from the plugin team explaining exactly why the plugin was removed. 

We also explain the impact of including crypto mining code on your website and include a video that shows the tangible impact that crypto mining has on the user experience.
