For developers, here is how you remove the malicious code that causes this redirect.
So basically what you want to search for in your code is the ‘str_replace(‘ function. It will be obvious in your search which files are infected, as there are several hundred encrypted characters side by side in your file.
Check out the attached screenshot. What made this tricky is the beginning of the code starts with <?php , but then has about 1000 blank spaces before the malicious code starts (sneaky bastards). What also made this tricky is the timestamp on the files shows up as unchanged, so they do not look suspect just by viewing them via ftp. It seemed to infect all of my files named index.php, header.php, and functions.php. As well as some various other files. The code is isolated to the very first line of code in all the files.
Hope someone else may find this helpful.
Hi Everyone,
