In reply to: Security issue, multiple sitesokay, I figured a couple things out…
there’s a few strange looking databases in my phpadmin area, most look similar to this :
“rss_1f6c214c60d29cacd0400469cc53ff37”
and then, inside those, there’s RIDICULOUS lines of code filled with all sorts of link bait and queries I’ve been seeing hit my blog.
So I’m going to delete them now. I figure I have a backup of te whole database so if I break something I can restore it… but I’m feeling pretty confident here since inside those entries I’m seeing all sorts of evil looking copy and links :

In reply to: Security issue, multiple sitesbut how do you edit those database fields? I think this is where I need to make a final sweep for miscreants.

In reply to: spam that looks like “/index.php?p=2348.html” ??!!here’s two lines of code from the stats log sql file that I managed to grab (I have no idea what any of this tells me but it’s two examples of hits of the kind I’m talking about) :
INSERT INTO wp_slim_stats VALUES (334398, 1024236612, '', 'jp', 'www.moeside.net', 'www.moeside.net/weblog/', '', '/index.php?p=3668.html', 1, 9, '6.0', 1208837318) ;
INSERT INTO wp_slim_stats VALUES (334645, 1241913519, '', 'us', '', '', '', '/index.php?p=2034.html', -1, 34, '', 1208841425) ;

In reply to: spam that looks like “/index.php?p=2348.html” ??!!So I went through those links and searched for phantom .txt files, backed up the db, reinstalled a brand new WP 2.5… only to still be inundated with hits for :
/index.php?p=XXXX.html
where X, the number, is seemingly random. Mostly three or four digits.
I don’t get it. What the hell are these mystery pages, and how can I get rid of them from my installation of WP? I’m completely stumped.

In reply to: Weird and Dangerous : ro8kfbsmag.txtwhooami, where can I find that ro8kfbsmag.txt file? Or can I search for it across my directories so I can send it to hell where it belongs?
I’ve upgraded to 2.5 since my blog was hacked, but want to be sure I’m not leaving a backdoor into my database, as I think you’re alluding to as being a possibility.
I shall never wait to upgrade again.

In reply to: Security issue, multiple sitesby “live hits” I mean pages that are obviously spam for drug companies, etc., but I can’t find any post/page that is numbered 4019 (to use the above example) to delete.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Security issue, multiple sitesIt seems like this is the type of attack we’ve suffered, as well, but we still get live hits when adding “/?p=4019.html” to the end of our blog URL (https://blog.burstlabs.com).
Any ideas? I’m so frustrated and stumped right now. Argh.
