oddz on "Website defaced (second time!) :("
April 25, 2010 by David Olsen
Hi all,
I went to my website yesterday: http://www.naink.org
To discover it had been defaced/hacked
Unfortunately this is the 2nd time this has happened! The first time it was running Joomla, and got hacked. So i ditched it and installed WP.
Ive kept everything up to date in WordPress religously! I just cant believe its happened again.
Can anyone give me some insight into how this has happened? Ive put a support ticket in with the webhost too.
Just curious if its a WP vulnerablity or something ive stuffed up.
Intrestingly enough, i tried to access my website 3-4 days before the hack occured, and could not log in! So i reset the password, then after that i was hacked
So im thinking that had something to do with the hack?
Some searching around has made me think that maybe i have a rootkit or something along those lines hiding away on my website? But i cant seem to find the dam thing!
Im able to restore the site, by replacing the themes index.php with a backed up copy. But i wanted to leave it up for now so i can debug whats happened and try prevent it.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris
