WARNING: Spam plugin.

I found this plugin installed on my site without my permission.

I use Gutenberg a fair amount and had never even heard of this plugin until I saw it that popped up in my editor.

I couldn’t figure out how it got there and only eventually got a message under the settings for Redux that said

“Did I install this?”

“Maybe not! These items are using Redux. If you want to keep using them, Redux will need to remain installed and activated.”

So basically, I had the WP Mail Logging plugin installed and it installed this plugin on my site without my permission.

Surely this type of behaviour cannot be allowed.

This plugin shows 1 million active installs – I wonder how many of those are without consent.

WP should ban plugins that engage in this type of behaviour.
