Damn, WordPress dropped 7.0.2 on a Friday afternoon. Security update, high-severity.

This WordPress 7.0.2 update must be critical. Kinsta started updating sites before the release notes were posted, and now WP Engine is patching all sites 6.8 or later immediately with no option to defer. We experienced a rare site hack on the 15th, a stealth plugin injecting ClickFix. I don’t know if these two things are related, but check your plugins directory for anything new.
