MyGov email me to let me know I'll need to change my password next time I log in. “That's not how security works but sure.” Your password can not exceed 64 characters “You're storing passwords in plain text, aren't you?” Your password can only contain a subset of special characters “You're not confident you are escaping SQL queries correctly, are you?”

If you’re running a version of WordPress affected by wp2shell (6.9 or 7.0) and are waiting until Monday to update, please don’t. Scripts are doing the rounds to exploit the issue. If you have auto-updates enabled and are waiting until Monday to make sure they have successfully updated, please check now. This is one of those issues in which you need to act NOW or you’re leaving it too late. See the WordPress 7.0.2 announcement post for more details. https://wordpress.org/news/2026/07/wordpr...
