Security Threat: WordPress Under Attack
I wonder how that could have happened. As long as users are upgraded to the latest version of WordPress, it seems that they should be fine. Well, I guess this proves that nothing on the Internet is reliable and safe. And yet the retards over on Facebook still post their address :/First, there are strange additions to permalinks, such as example.com/category/post-title/%&(%7B$%7Beval(base64_decode($_SERVER%5BHTTP_REFER ER%5D))%7D%7D|.+)&%/. The keywords are “eval” and “base64_decode.”
The second clue is that a “back door” was created by a “hidden” Administrator. Check your site users for “Administrator (2)” or a name you do not recognize.
I'm not really sure what any of the clues meant , but regardless it still sounds like a big problem. Hopefully Swift knows about it.

I just let swift know about it, so he's aware.
Is this affecting Twitter, forums, etc.?
It's quite hard to say. With a little patience, intelligence, and some creativity anyone can go and do this to any website on the Internet. It is just a matter of finding the hole. I'm not sure, but it seems that a person has found a hole in a permalink. They then used that hole to make themselves an administrator and wrack havoc on the site.Originally Posted by stealthborn
I see. Does it pertain to this website?
