Malware: WordPress Attack – Continues and Intensifies
Submitted by Robert Abela on May 12, 2010 - 4:19 pm No CommentThought you were safe in the forest this spring? As reported yesterday, and now reinforced by wpsecuritylock.com, the godaddy malware infections continue to grow, and now seems to be spreading across different hosters and now targetted applications. Not only WordPress installs are being affected, but now Joomla and ‘standard’ html-based websites. This lends more credence to our initial diagnosis that these hacks are actually the result of a platform-based attack, and spreading from the ‘inside’.
More details will be released as we learn more. In the meantime, if you are affected, please follow the instructions here and/or make sure you get a free malware/vulnerability scan from WebsiteDefender.
