The problem with registering AIOS passwords was the result of an error. The developers have released an update 5.2.0 to solve this problem and delete all registered passwords from the database.
- 📌 However, AIOS did not get out of the blow. Many users report that version 5.2.0 leads to a failure of their websites.
- 📌 WordPress statistics also show that hundreds of thousands of users are still using a vulnerable, outdated version of the plugin.
The biggest question of this situation is why AIOS has not recommended all users to change their passwords, especially if they use the same password for several sites.
🧩 Summary: It's an alarming time for AIOS. It is still unknown whether they can restore their reputation after this incident.
🧠 Own considerations: This case emphasizes the importance of constant monitoring and updating of safety systems, as well as the importance of being ready for a quick response to any problems that may occur. Users should be constantly reminded of the safety of using unique passwords for each service.
