Hey Tiffany, so sorry this had to happen and glad you have cleaned it up. Just wanted to add one more thought. Although this sounds like a WP vulnerability but based on my experience it could be something else too. For example keystroke loggers. People gain access to your FTP and cPanel access after logging the username and passwords on a vulnerable computer. I blogged about that once and will be glad to send you the URL if you want.

Thanks for posting this. It helped me track down problems on many of my own sites. After trial and error, I figured out that wp-blog-header.php is the culprit in the WP directory, but this hack leaves plenty of malicious footprints. My methods here:

Wordpress claims that on older versions of WP someone only need register for a user account (which anyone can do) to have access to hack. They inist someone must have hacked weeks ago before I upgraded and then only decided to start profiting now. I have my doubts.

I did change my password though.

wow Tiffany. That's scary - but glad you got it worked out and thanks for sharing this. What do you suppose can be done, if anything, to prevent this issue? Would a more frequent password reset do it? Or is it someone that can get around even that? Carrie Lauth's last blog post..Are There Cons to Being a Work At Home Mom?
