This drive-by infections are one of the worst things which happens to the internet! Here's an advice for all windows user: Never ever use an account witht administrator rights for your daily routine, use a restricted one! And a hint for Firefox users: Install the "NoScript" add-on. It blocks scripts unless you allow them. Phow, thanks god I was offline yesterday! This drive-by infections are one of the worst things which happens to the internet!

I need to find them and hit them with a board. I feel really bad for everyone who got zapped. That sucks, and I hope you get your stuff back. Thanks, Karl, for jumping on it as quickly as you did.

So well the funny troll wrote a message on my index and deleted all my content, and my hosts didn't accept responsability. Now I've changed hosts and I had no troubles with hacking ever since then. I hope you're able to restore your site. *thumbs up* That is so stupid, I know how you feel, my site was hacked several years ago and hosts blamed me telling that it was me who gave the access to a random user.

None of the unpatched vulnerabilities I see on the Secunia site look like they would let someone take over like that, and there haven't been any security patches since WordPress 2.9 was released (2.9.1 didn't contain any security fixes that I know about). Or were you running a version older than 2.9? I'm managing several WordPress sites so I would really like to know if there's something I need to be doing besides just staying up to date with the latest version.

I got a notice from my host (Media Temple) a few weeks ago that they were aware of an exploit of WordPress' php files that sounds awfully similar to what happened here. It sucks lunchbags, but I guess it's part of the price of teh interwebz. Karl > love the comic, as usual! Hey guys,

Care to share with us, Eric? I'm interested so that I can prevent something similar to this happening to me in the future.

If you can access another PC, download and install MalwareBytes onto a flash drive. As long as the virus hasn't gone through your system (by means of you clicking on things), you should be able to run the program and safely remove the files from your system. If you google this particular virus you'll find tons of info on it and more detailed instructions on how to rid yourself of it.
