I spent the majority of my afternoon (4+ hours) cleaning up the mess… My WordPress installation got hacked…
Some #!@%*& spammer hacked into my footer and exploited it for his own benefit. Yes, I am not alone and many more WordPress blogs have been hijacked too. But that doesn’t make me feel any better. Btw, I do think it could have been worse and I’m grateful that it wasn’t. At the same time, I have a nagging feeling that I might have missed something in the cleanup process… Result: upgraded WordPress, fresh backups, and of course, all new passwords… All that, and I also lost my appetite, though I call it my new Internet-security-weight-loss-diet plan.
