We just wanted to clear the air of some of the confusion surrounding recent hacks on WordPress installations hosted on (mt) Media Temple.
This issue does not relate to previous security incidents #1167 and #1026 – which were absolutely reflective of an inadequately secure architecture. We’ve accepted responsibility for those past issues, corrected them and have done so publicly: https://weblog.mediatemple.net/weblog/category/system-incidents/gs-investigating-potential-exploit/ and https://weblog.mediatemple.net/weblog/category/system-incidents/1026-gs-security-advisory/. In total, we’ve observed that these more recent attacks are site-specific, and do not represent a hosting-level compromise.
We have provided some significant guidance and support for our customers experiencing these problems on our System Status Blog: https://weblog.mediatemple.net/weblog/category/system-incidents/1378-information-about-compromised-sites/
