 * You guys need to update this plugin. It’s redirecting my sites on to 74.86.158.106

 * The Genesis Simple Edit plugin has backdoors which allows your web site to be
   hacked any time and be redirected to other servers.
 * As soon as I removed it, my site was back up.

 * The plugin does not have backdoors. Have you tried deleting it from your server
   and installing a new copy using the plugin installer in the dashboard?
 * I strongly suggest you change all the passwords associated with your web account(
   FTP, etc.).
