Blog Hackers Got Me
April 3rd, 2008
Yes, it appears that my Wordpress install was hacked just prior to my upgrade to Wordpress 2.5. Just as before, it wasn’t anything major, but I got a whole host of hidden links added to the end of one of my posts. This was easily fixed. However, because this went for a week or so before I caught it, my frontpage dropped off Google like a rock.
I would certainly recommend that everyone upgrade to Wordpress 2.5 ASAP - and stay updated. This won’t keep you from all of the hacks and exploits, but it helps tremendously. In the mean time, I am going to write some shell scripts on my Nagios install to search for various pharmaceutical terms on my site - so the next one won’t catch me unaware.
