It is normal to find such this attacker. i think you must give care for the www apache server and also about the injections technice

google and wordpress are getting better at stopping these crackers. the worst ones are where everyhting seems normal to you, but to google, there are 100 links to spam sites. wordpress are making it easier to upgrade, and google will attempt to notify you if they detect any malicious ocde.

This shows the importance of regularly checking your logs for signs of suspicious activity against a baseline. I wish someone would release a simple hosted service (like statcounter) that would identify anomalies like this in realtime.

This is quite informative. I’m sorry about the hacking incident, I’ve personally gotten hacked by random people across the net multiple times in my forum . I used Vbulletin–I realize that I had to update almost immediately when Vbulletin came out.

But it’s great that you can actually diagnose your hacked hole!

Sorry about the intrusion, Thomas, and better luck with the site in the future. What I can add is to make a copy of the db as often as possible.. sites will always be cracked, so it is important to be able to restore. There is a plugin to send a backup of the db via email and worth looking into.

Other than that, the debugging /hack tracing skills of yours are impressive. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
