WordPress Blog Hacked

I manage several blogs and one of them was recently hacked. The hacker put an iframe in a post, so when my blog page page loads, it will load a webpage from another domain via the iframe. This foreign web page tries to install a spyware application, NOT Nice… Apperntly this hack is common with WordPress. You can read more about the hack here.

I removed the code manually. I then ran a scan on the code and database using this plugin: http://ocaoimh.ie/exploit-scanner/

I scanned for the following terms: “iframe” and “” Both of these terms where used in code malicious code.

Finally I upgrade to the latest version of WordPress. Let’s hope this will close any security holes.

BTW- WordPress 2.7 is pretty cool.
