Tip: use UpdraftPlus? Check for an UpdraftCentral key today; if there is one, update to 1.26.13 / 2.26.13 and delete it
Most UpdraftPlus sites aren't affected by the TeamUpdraft breach. Only sites connected to the cloud UpdraftCentral dashboard are. To check, open Settings → UpdraftPlus Backups → Advanced Tools → UpdraftCentral. If it shows "Manage existing keys (N)" with N above zero, you're connected. Note that UpdraftPlus 1.26.11 pre-ticks "add this site to UpdraftCentral" when you connect a TeamUpdraft account, so you may be connected without remembering it.
- Update to 1.26.13 (free) or 2.26.13 (Premium) or later. Skip 1.26.12 / 2.26.12; Nethemba reports they delete no keys.
- Delete every key on that screen, or with WP-CLI:
wp option delete updraft_central_localkeys. Removing the site from the teamupdraft.com dashboard isn't enough. - Check Plugins (including Must-Use) and Users for anything you didn't add, change admin passwords, and change your teamupdraft.com password and 2FA.
- Backups to your own Google Drive, Dropbox or S3 keep working. UpdraftVault users need to reconnect with their new password.
- If you manage client sites, use a key created by an account that can't install plugins. That's what stopped the attack on one of Nethemba's sites.
