Today I was looking for a plugin for Wordpress and decided to take a look at www.wp-plugins.org. When I arrived at the site what wasn’t my surprise to see that everything had been changed. At first I thought they might have changed the look of the site but when I started investigating noticed that it was one of those spamming sites. I did whois and noticed that the domain was renue today so this must of happen a few hours ago. Does anyone know what’s happening?
Wow, this is very strange. It looks like the domain expired and someone snapped it up. I checked http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins and they are still linking to the new spammy http://www.wp-plugins.org/
