Hacked, then hacked again.

… then hacked one more time :(

— edit —

After not having a blog for so long I finally got around to installing wordpress. Then it needed an upgrade. Then, it got hacked. I tried removing the malicious iframes manually (not in the mood for re-installing) and it got hacked again 2 weeks later!

I almost want to say I should have just written my own simple blog from scratch. I would not have had these problems. Sure my code would suck but IF there was a bug in I doubt anyone would bother finding it. Certainly none of the automated systems these troublemakers use to randomly scan the web would pay attention to me.

I’ve set up automated tests using Unmask Parasites and installed the AntiVirus plugin. Lets see how well that works.

Another site I built years ago has also been infected with something. The host has taken the site offline until the account holder logs in again.. I hope she remembers her password this time. I’m not looking forward to trying to clean that one up. It was running a really old Zenphoto, Coppermine, and PHPBB! Any of them, or all could be the source.

And all this after wasting my weekend trying to rescue and clean my windows xp machine. :(
