2 days ago, while browsing through my website at http://thehypelife.com/ I realized that some of the pages and post on my website are redirecting to an unknown url [ http://a.auoo.info/in1.php?n=508101 ]. On my website, the pages and post loads like half way, but like seconds after they redirect to that page.
I have recently updated the plugin W3 Total Cache that maybe causing this problem.
Please, can you guys help me out... Im losing the little traffic that I have. =(

Okay... update:
Its caused by a WordPress redirect exploit.
Problem fixed and mark as solved.

I have this same issue - how did you fix it?

sgordon, "WordPress redirect exploit" means the site was hacked. You'll need to change your passwords, and either restore from a recent backup or try to remove all the redirect from your database. You should also replace your site files with backups or with clean files. Google "WordPress redirect exploit" for tips on recovering your site.

Had the same issue this weekend. MediaTemple has a good article on how to fix this problem if you don't have a fresh database backup.
http://wiki.mediatemple.net/w/WordPress_Redirect_Exploit
If you find the following in your database, you're probably infected:
ae.awaue.com/7
ie.eracou.com/3
ao.euuaw.com/9
ue.oeaou.com/31

Was this caused by W3 Total Cache? I don't think so.

Has anyone actually identified some way that W3TC is related to that exploit?

@Frederick I highly doubt this was caused by W3 Total Cache.

Actually, that makes a lot of sense.
I have 4 domains that have wordpress installed and lately the site gets redirected (nanovoice.ru....). This occurs from dashboard login through editor changes. I thought it was the htaccess, but once I deleted w3 total chache it functioned properly.
Now I just use the older version.

@ccscene I don't understand how you addressed the problem. I'm not clear what has occurred.

Re: w3total cache
There's a comment by (mt) on this page. It touches on the one of the variants which might affect something like w3tc's files.

That doesn't affect W3TC files, it affects WordPress core itself.
