I was wondering why my conversions have been so low and today I logged onto my site and was shocked to see I was redirected to this website wow-mov.com

I have looked all over my site for the code that redirects and I cant ifind it, It redirects at random I sat hitting F5 to see and surely every few F5s i was redirected!


Any ideas? the full redirect url has an affiliate id and tracking id

http://wow-mov.com/?tracking_id=9012&aff_id=3052 !!!

I googled ?tracking_id=9012&aff_id=3052 and seen someone has the same problem !

check :

phpheader
http meta
.htacess -> did you check it ?
last way : apache conf
also look at your google webmaster account for redirection

Act quicly before google crawl ur site

use this :http://web-sniffer.net/

thanks for the reply, im currently speaking to my host to see if they can help.

Im pretty new to website security so when it comes to the .htaccess file i have no idea what its ment to look like

here it is

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

does that look correct?

Omg,someone logged on ur host,ask your host company to check logged ips,and tell them to ban him. Also check all the files on ur wordpress blog. Probably he changed your index.php file or uploaded new file.

Had similar on a string of WP sites hosted at HG around April. Was an SQL injection that allowed cpanel access, and the hacker then "walked" all WP sites on my server. Backups were infected too, going back a month (attack had a future zero day...) Host said access was due to weak htaccess rules security.

Solved by rebuilding all sites from scratch (a bitch), then installed Bullet Proof Security plugin and Limit Login Attempts (both free, search plugin updates).

No probs since despite numerous login attempt lockouts each week since.

Good luck.
