thank yu so much for the article, few days ago all of my sites got hacked. I was lucky it was not xss. Bad part is got a trojan from a hacked advertiser on a very reputable network, when it installed it compromised smart ftp. All index,home and .jv got a malicious script inserted after page code. Took me days to clean up, going one by one. I wish I came across your post earlier

1, Only use plugin from wordpress.org unless you feel confident about the security of third-party plugins.
2, Use Secure WordPress plugin.
3, Remove the wp version from php files of theme. If possible, directly use static javascript file location instead of invoking php function since wp will automatically add the version number at the tail.
4, Have a nice neighbor on your hosting.

Just my 2 cents hehe

I will pay someone $250 to perform this as a service for me… Cleaning or getting rid of all of the bad coding and scripts on my blogs.

It is unfortunate that hackers and virus creators do things like this to intentionally and maliciously destroy other peoples hard worked for content. These individuals are like the scum of the earth. Who sits around all day creating malicious codes and scripts just to mess with people?? It’s people like this that end up seriously HAUNTED at the end of their lives by all of the wrong doing that they have done throughout their life. People that intentionally harm or wrong do others are like satans little lovely beings. Heartless. Soulless. Friendless. Must be a wonderfull world they live in…

There is a thing called benevolence, which holds the meaning of: possessing that in which an individual truly cares about the health and well being of other people. Not to sound “tree huggerish”. But seriously, come on, get a life and go do something significant rather than sitting in your cave all day and dying a slow, timely death. There is so much more to life than thinking that you are doing something cool by “being a hacker and ILLEGALLY getting into or intentionally destroying other peoples stuff”. Back in the old days you would have had the privilege of getting a bag put over your head with a noose around your neck and getting the stool kicked out from under you. It’s called “eye for eye”.

My apologies to everyone that reads this that are searching out how to fix your blog. It is obviously meant for the little, no good, no life having, soulless human maggot out there that creates viruses, malicious scripts and hacks other peoples stuff. YOU SUCK BIG MOOSE C#&@!!
