A new plugin seems to have hijacked the plugin update #56
Description
Activity
I solved this by changing the plugin version to 999.1 - that way the WP will never try to update the plugin.
Here is the new header:
/**
* Plugin Name: JSON Basic Authentication
* Description: Basic Authentication handler for the JSON API, used for development and debugging purposes
* Author: WordPress API Team
* Author URI: https://github.com/WP-API
* Version: 999.1
* Plugin URI: https://github.com/WP-API/Basic-Auth
*/I would suggest a plugin name change, and adding it to the WP Install System. By doing this, you will reserve the name with the WordPress for the future.

To my surprise my Wordpress dashboard told me that this plugin needed an update... on closer inspection it looks like this plugin is the one that it's asking to update to:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/basic-auth/
This presumably has happened because the naming is the same.
Obviously I am not going to update to this plugin - but other people might be being caught out.
