I don't believe we signed up for it, but we received a report that some of our non-enterprise WordPress sites were out 
of date yesterday.  It was accurate.  Report was sent to CIO and administrative contacts for our domain.

Good Morning,

I am wondering if anyone has received an alert from an organization called Neuralgic 
(www.neuralgic.net<http://www.neuralgic.net>) regarding vulnerabilities they specifically identified on your websites?  
  According to their website, they define their organization as:

Neuralgic crawls and detects specific hack patterns such as code injections hitting the safety, the integrity and the 
notoriety of university and government websites in order to help CISO and webmasters to discover, clean it up and 
enhance the cybersecurity of their organization. Neuralgic has been thanked by CERTs and Universities from 5 continents.



I hoping to get some feedback regarding the legitimacy of the organization and if anyone has signed up for their 
service.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.
