Making the rounds today from Techie Buzz is a discussion about a WordPress plugin called “BlogPress SEO”. Now, as you know, any plugin that promises linkbacks without you having to work at it is clearly doing something that’s not above the board. That promise, among others, is what BlogPress SEO states. From what we’re reading over at Yoast and Mtekk, the plugin has back doors that will let the author bypass the login screen completely and be into the admin area of your blog in a snap. Even Matt Cutts, head of the webspam team at Google gives his warning over Twitter.
