smh.... I'm laughing from delirium ...really... I mean it's just so freaking funny... And I can't figure out why or how... well why doesn't really matter; I Googled and found lots of other sites hacked with the same iframe so I'm not the target specifically, but damn man....freakin A.... hackeddddddddddddddd

before you say:

1. they were various blogs and not even all that were on the same host/account. Meaning:
a. I have one reseller account that has 4 'accounts' on it. One one of those accounts I have 15 blogs. Only 7 were 'affected'. Of those 7, 6 were wp v 2.7.1 and 1 was 2.8.2. Of those 7, 2 were established last year. One of those two was established the same year as another one of those 15 blogs and yet that one was not affected.
b. None of the blogs on the other 'accounts' were affected even though they were created only a month before the ones on the affected account.

2. I did not update my older blogs because of the recent problems with the latest versions of wp and the plugins I was using so I decided to wait until everything was fixed, but the afflicted sites varied in their wp versions!

3. I did not use the same passwords on any of the blogs.

4. I manually installed half of the afflicted blogs! [and before you say it, I manually installed some of the ones not afflicted too]. M A N U A L L Y! I was sooooo manual about it that I made nifty db names and db user names and nifty passwords and generated new 'security' keys for each and every config file...........GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR......

5. I haven't found another blog on my other accounts yet that has been affected and these are blogs I setup either on the same day or same week or monthish as many of the afflicted blogs. Before you say anything THERE:
a. Most of those accounts are with the same host as the ones affected [hostgator btw]
b. I haven't updated those either but they vary in wp versions too.

idk what went wrong. :/

All variations of this link are iframed in the afflicted files too:

Code:
http://c9u.at:8080/ts/in.cgi?pepsi147

I wouldn't even have noticed if I didn't actually login to my adsense and notice some channels not performing. GAWD! K so this is my first time being hacked [scratch that--I have been hacked before, but not while using Wordpress] so I am just blah. But at least now I have stopped laughing... the delirium has subsided...I needed to vent....Now to fix the sites............gawd.
 
Not sure then, could it have been someone you know? Or maybe a firefox password stealer/keylogger etc.
 
The hacker either

-hacked another site on the server you're on and got into your sites. This seems most logical, if they're aiming to make money from hacks they would most likely take over every site on a server they get into

-exploited a plugin you're running

-hacked your host (it happens surprisingly alot)

-bruteforced your wp installs (doubtful)

-keylogged/trojaned you

-got into your email and got the passwords - did you use your email pwd anywhere else?
 
um easy hack man if before revision 2.8.4 they just reset ur pass its on vulnerability list ppl can just google the older revisions o.O
 
If you are using a script which has been nulled from the net and has been installed on your server, make sure it doesnt have anything which looks suspicious. I know some people who have been hacked by using certain plugins shared around.

my desktop had a trojan horse 4-5 days ago and I only use firefox. idk if i was logged into anything though--my gf was using it when she picked it up. I had to reload xp and do a fresh install. Would that have been an issue?

But once I removed the iframes, i was still able to login to them using the correct passwords [which yes I changed too and changed all my other passwords.

I got them all fixed up now. Off to bed. :/
 
Can you tell us which ones to look out for ?

it's an xml vulnerability everyone can be affected and in special wp blogs :) why ? because most of you guys leave '' footprints '' :)

its a trojan on your pc, i had it a week ago and there have been a few posts similar to this on BHW recently. Its a Virux or Virut variant, very nasty and cant be cleaned. You have to nuke your pc with the OS install discs.
 
I have the same problem. index.php and default-filters.php and default-widgets.php in my wp installation tend to be infected. I have also a trojan on my computer. NOD32 found nothing now.
I suspect that I got trojan when I loaded and installed a wp themes I found on this forum. :bawling:
 
How do you know if you have picked anything up if your AV hasn't detected it?
 
Remove the iframe as fast as possible or google will label the site as harmful in the search results and anyone who navigates to it using firefox will get an attack site warning. If this happens, you need to request an evaluation using webmaster tools.
 
Same shit happened to me. Trojan on my pc, logged into ftp account @ hosting provider..went through ALL my sites and inserted shit into the .php files. Same happened to you now. Your blogs were not hacked, but the ftp account passwords stolen.

Am going to nuke it like bluerickshaw suggested to me too just to be sure.
 
so what program or themes have you all used in common? It wold be nice to know whats infected so we dont all end up in the same boat.

Yes I am especially curious of the source too. Someone said it was an FTP account exploit. :eek: Any information on this? Security measures?

Thanks
 
Just an FYI. It's not just Wordpress that is being exploited. I had the same issue on a non WordPress Site that got hacked.... Here was what i found in several of my files:
