Verdict: Malicious activity
Threats:

Balada Injector is a long-running malware campaign that targets WordPress websites by exploiting vulnerabilities in plugins and themes. The attackers inject malicious code into compromised sites, leading to unauthorized redirects, data theft, and the creation of [backdoors](https://any.run/malware-trends/backdoor) for persistent access. The campaign operates in waves, with spikes in activity observed every few weeks, continually adapting to exploit newly discovered vulnerabilities.
