The new version is coming soon, keep checking our web and blog!

One of the biggest improvements in version 3.0 is the use of WordPress’s new functions and features. WP Coupon was originally designed around WordPress 2.X, since than WordPress has made a lot of improvements. The new version is faster, lighter, and has more options and features than before.

It is not to late to submit an idea request. If you have a feature you would like to have added to WP Coupon let us know.

Do you have any questions? Don’t hesitate to contact us!

To get the latest update patch, please log into your account and under products go to downloads and download the latest version of WP Coupon.

Version 2.181 includes a few updates and patches. Read the changelog for a list of updates and changes. We recommend anyone running version 2.179 or below to upgrade to the latest version of WP Coupon.

Here’s some additional details:

On January 4 we learned that unauthorized computer “hackers” maliciously exploited a function designed to allow clients access to their information through a remote api. The hackers wrote software code to repeatedly query our system for client information. When a client id existed it output the clients raw account information.

The hackers deliberately went to great efforts to capture customer information and try to gain access to our licensing system.

As soon as we became aware of this situation, we took swift action to prevent any further unauthorized exposure of customers information. Within hours, WP Coupon disabled the api and found the exploit. Only unencrypted information like your email, phone number, mailing address where visible to the hackers. Your password and other personal account information was encrypted. The hackers never had access to WP Coupon licensing system or any payment processors that we use.

While the attack was limited to a few clients, we encourage you to be alert to scams that could attempt to use this information to obtain other data or send you unwanted email. We also encourage you to update your account password as a security precaution. You can learn more about phishing by contacting WP Coupon.

WP Coupon takes your privacy seriously and does not tolerate unauthorized access to its customers’ information or company websites. We will cooperate with law enforcement in any investigation of unauthorized system access and to prosecute violators to the fullest extent of the law.

WP Coupon acted quickly to protect your information – and we promise to keep working around the clock to keep your information safe. Thank you very much for your understanding, and for being an WP Coupon customer.

Sincerely,

William VanVreede
CEO and Director of Media Relations for WP Coupon
