So, it looks like Matt Mullenweg is doing some blatantly unethical shit again. He forked and forcibly took over WPEngine's Advanced Custom Fields plugin - one of the most installed plugins in the WP- and is forcing updates to go to his new plugin, which uses the same URL, install count, & reviews

Our ACF plugin has been taken over forcibly by wordpressdotorg without our consent. If you are a WP Engine, Flywheel or ACF PRO customer, you do not need to take any action and will continue to get the latest from the ACF team. If you have a site managed elsewhere using ACF, in order to get ACF updates you must perform a 1-time download of the genuine 6.3.8 version via http://advancedcustomfields.com/ to remain safe in the future. The update servers for wordpressdotorg are no longer controlled by the ACF team. https://advancedcustomfields.com/blog/installing-and-upgrading-to-the-latest-version-of-acf/ You’ve been trusting ACF for over a decade. The experts that maintain ACF will continue to support and enhance the capabilities that our users love and trust.
We were saddened and appalled by Matt Mullenweg’s actions this morning appropriating the Advanced Custom Fields plugin that our ACF team has been actively developing for the WordPress community since 2011. Please read the following post for our full statement.
