Question about potential hacks

    I have a website which is hosted by a third party provider, I have access to the WordPress admin panel and need to request FTP details from my third party.

    On several occasions I have received alerts from Webmaster Tools to say the site has been compromised. When this happens and I log in to the WP admin panel I can see now additional pages or posts.

    When I log in through through the FTP I see new folders have appeared in the root directory named something like “hknofjd”. My question is, could these folders have been created by a hack through the WordPress admin panel or one of the plugins or is this a “server” hack?
