My blog was hacked and now has hidden links throughout (3 posts)

    About a month ago, I discovered than an old blog post had been riddled with hidden links to porn and spam sites. After investigating further, I discovered similar links on most of my older posts -- meaning that my site had somehow been hacked by a spammer. After upgrading to WP 2.5 (from 1.9 I think) I hoped the links would be automatically removed, but they weren;t. To manually remove them from 1500 or so older posts is unfathomable to me. Are there automated ways to remove hidden links?

    Not really, no. Restore those posts from a backup you made before they got the links added.

    Didn't make backups? Too bad.

    Sure it was not your header or footers? If so, you only need to visit those two locations and remove the junk.
