I’ve been Hacked ;( no comments
I’ve just got back from a wonderful trip to Hawaii where I attended http://www.lanternfloatinghawaii.com/home.html (I’d recommend it to anyone for next year) to find my blog had been hacked with loads of malicious code ;( I’m not sure if this is because it was a old version of wordpress or the ‘blix’ theme I used http://www.utheguru.com/download-blix-krieg-231-major-release or something completely different? Anyhow I’ve had to delete the whole thing and strip my database (which has also been corrupted hence some of the posts have doggy characters). After investigating this issue it seems if you are vulnerable to this attack you have loads of porn and phishing sites installed in your ‘tinymce’ directory (javascript text editor). I’d advise people to hunt through this dir. My database contained 100’s of sites that have been attacked. It’s depressing to see a charity for fostering children has been attacked ;( I wouldn’t click on any of the doggy links under the main site urls as they could contain Trojans.
