Soo many sites this week has been hacked because of this plugin's vulnerability so if your site is OK for now, disable and delete ASAP anyway!

For those who experience redirects to sites like hellofromhony.org (could be to other sites too) do the following:

1. Disable plugin and delete it from the server
2. Got phpMyAdmin
3. Search for Yuzo tables at wp_options
4. Delete all of them (there should be like 5-6 of them)
6. Delete also Yuzo table from the database index
5. Check siteurl at wp_options (first row), it should be your site, if you have a redirect there will be something like hellofromhony.org/scriptblablabashit
6. Change that to your site's URL.
7. If you have 10 sites on the server, check all of them, even if they did not have Yuzo plugin.
Hope it helps!
 
Also now it's hellofromhony.com and 3 other websites.

Follow all guides but also clear your cash.
