    My RSS Feed on WP 2.8 Bytes for All Ataluhpa theme has been hacked with this error code:

    RSS Error: XML error: Invalid document end at line 339, column 40

    At that line, there is a big chunk of garbage text. How do I eliminate garbage text on that line and restore the feed?

    A file named wp-bewv.php was added to WordPress folder on that day. Wasn't by me...anyone know anything about it?

    If you want to take a look the URL is http://rhtrav.com/wordpress/

    I'm OK with WordPress, but don't know much about RSS and how the feed fits into the template.

    WordPress 2.8.x has some often discussed and well known exploits and vulnerabilities. Although this is only one of the many ways your site can be compromised, failing to keep up with upgrades and security releases can be the most common and easiest avenue of opportunity for people seeking to take advantage of security holes on un-patched web site platforms.

    Some good reading;
