Introducing the Wordfence Threat Response Team: A New Way to Report Active Threats in the WordPress Ecosystem

Wordfence has established a dedicated Threat Response Team led by Alex Thomas to handle urgent threats to WordPress sites within the first 72 hours of detection. The team accepts reports of active exploits, supply-chain compromises, and attack campaigns via threat-response@wordfence.com and aims to deliver protection and guidance to site owners rapidly. The company has separated this emergency response function from its longer-term Threat Intelligence Team to improve incident response velocity.

Why it matters: WordPress site owners and security practitioners benefit from a faster reporting channel and coordinated response to zero-day exploits and active campaigns; submitting evidence to threat-response@wordfence.com can accelerate protection deployment across Wordfence users.
