Oh, hello admin.

Because right now we are already inside. Your plugins, your passwords, your backups — all of it.

Sleep well. Count your users. Count your backups. Count them again after we are done reading them.

Don’t take it personally. Take it as a reminder. Maybe next time, check your work twice.

The login form you are staring at? We already filled it in before you sat down.

Funny how everything looks secure until someone starts asking questions.

All that effort, and security was an afterthought?

You checked the logs. We checked the logs too. Different files, same mistake.

The scanner you installed to protect this site? It reported us as clean. Funny. It works for us now.

You trusted your system. We trusted your mistakes.

Your admin email goes to a mailbox we read first. Sorry.

And admin? Turn around. You have been looking at the wrong screen this whole time.

Nice website. Did you forget something?

The word "patched" appears in your notes. It does not appear in your code.

Every plugin you updated last month? We were in the changelog before you were.
