 * i just got a notice from Sucuri monitoring that someone in England logged into
   my “webmaster” admin account on WP 4.0 and promptly modified 2 plugins’ source
   files. There were 0 failed login attempts, and they somehow knew my very complex
   password that I was using. It is making me uneasy about the security of the new
   WP 4.0 please advise.

 * Remain calm and carefully follow [this guide](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked).
   When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of [the recommended security measures](http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress).
 * Also, if you’re paying for Sucuri, they provide cleanup services and I think 
   some forensic analysis too.
