Hi,
I discovered a link that I slowing down my website. It seems to be a link to a porn site, but it isn't working. I couldn't find the link in the code, but I removed a couple of the same links from wp_commentmeta in the database.
This is my website: http://www.anorangebox.com.
This is the link loading and generating errors in my script: http://www.sexualwishes.com (this domain generates an error itself).
Can someone please help me? What should I do?
Thanks,
Edward
There is a plugin "TAC" that checks for malicious code in your theme .
Install / activate it . What are the results ???
Be very suspicious with themes not provided by the official WordPress repocitory .

Hi kostas123,
Thanks for your reply.
I installed the plugin. It says the theme is OK and 12 static links are found. The link above is not one of them.
Well written malicious code may hide its existence from these plugins .
It's realy hard to locate these links because they are generated dynamicaly (with template tags ).
Your theme has the name "aob_v11" , it's not registered on official WordPress repocitory . What is the origin of this theme ?

It's a custom built theme. Maybe that's the reason it's vulnarable to such attacks. Any ideas what I can do now?
Do you trust the person that developed that theme ??
If yes , contact with him and ask a new copy of the theme and replace it .
When I suspect that a Website has been attacked , the only effective antidote is to do Clean WordPress installation (core files and database ) and upload all my content again .
Well , it sounds a bit over-reacting , but that's the most effective solution .
You have a back-up strategy , do you ???
