 * I see in the v3.65 changelog that you folks said you “Reset the custom JS metabox
   to prevent code injection from versions < 3.64”, but I’d like to know what kind
   of reset you’re talking about and what steps are being taken to assure that no
   more malicious code can be inserted into my client’s websites.

 * Hi [@jojojijijojo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jojojijijojo/) [@advantagen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/advantagen/)
 * After the last update (3.65) which was implemented due to security reasons, the
   custom JS scripts were deleted. Hence, there won’t be any issues.
    This was an
   intentional update that we had to do in order to keep the websites of our customers
   safe and secure. Our team is apologizing and we hoping that our customers can
   be understanding due to the circumstances.

 * Thank you kindly for your response.
 * Can you please let us know what steps are being taken to ensure this doesn’t 
   happen again?
 * Do I need to audit your code every time you issue an update?

   future we hope. Anyways, if there are, you can let us know.
