 * Hi Everyone,
    I have a self-hosted WordPress multisite, running up-to-date version
   WP 5.8.2 with what seemed to be up-to-date plugins and themes. I got an anonymousfox
   infection, and could not access any of the network admin functionality. I’ve 
   managed to reset the administrator username, but would like to see if I can find
   out how I got infected, or if the problem is still there waiting… Does anyone
   have any ideas for things I could/should look out for? Thanks for any suggestions.
   YikYak
