Recently there has been an increase in WordPress malware that displays a fake browser update page. We will explain this malware.

Symptoms of Malware

This malware downloads and stores the code for the Chrome update page in your company’s server and embeds it directly or indirectly in index.php.

This causes users visiting your site to see the Chrome update page, and if the user accidentally submits their login information, it is sent to hackers or causes them to download a malicious fake program.

The name of this program, according to Sucuri, is.
EngineChromium.zip, EngineBrowser.zip, and EngineTools.zip.

Why is malware embedded in index.php?

The index.php file in the WordPress top directory or theme is the file that is executed each time the site is viewed. For this reason, hackers most often target this file to ensure that malware code is executed when a user accesses the site’s de pages.
