Websites Hacked

New experience for me today. I discovered today that three of the ten (yes, ten) websites I manage have been hacked by what seems to be a fairly common attack (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-new-hack-including-wordpressorg).

This one was not touched.

The hack essentially uses your website for spam. The draw back is that it poisons your Google ranking. I actually had fun searching for the contaminated files.

Their dates were changed — 22 March — which makes me think it wasn’t a very sophisticated attack.

And that’s how I spent my Wednesday evening.
