 * Hi, I’m thinking about installing this plugin on another website but a few days
   ago I couldn’t find the plugin on the wordpress plugin directory. Then I noticed
   that the number of downloads for this plugin has sky rocketed over the last couple
   of days, with thousands of downloads…
 * I’m worried that there’s something strange happening here and wondered if somebody
   could shed some light before I start installing the plugin on more websites? 
   Why did the plugin disappear and what has caused such a huge spike in downloads?
   Has the plugin been compromised?

 * simonswords, the plugin was down temporarily while we addressed a minor security
   issue. The spike in downloads was due to the number of folks upgrading to the
   newer version after we put it back up. Hope that helps!
