• Hi,

    We’ve been running WordPress since v2.7 for about six months now. After every few weeks, existing Posts Drafts suddenly contain links to spam sites. The published Post isn’t affected, but once the Post is loaded in the Admin, it shows the spam links at the very end of the Post. It is almost as if someone logged in as an Administrator and added the links. The links all point to ‘The Florida Center for Instructional Technology’. But it’s all spam.

    This is a creepy problem, because it seems as if there is a leak somewhere and someone just injects those links. There are only two Administrators on our team and neither have added these links.

    We have removed these links twice before in every Post and Pages, but they always come back eventually. We are looking for a permanent solution to this problem. Is WP not safe?

    Hopefully someone can help. I hope this is the right forum to post this in.

    We are running 2.8.4 actually. I forgot to mention that sorry.

    This still doesn’t explain me how the site got hacked in the first place. But thanks anyway.

    There’s a million ways you could’ve been hacked….. no one is really going to be able to tell you exactly how without digging real deep.

    You’re gonna have to follow the guidelines in that post whooami linked to. It also gives links to further instructions.

    It’s quite a pain, and it’s definitely not easy, but it’s the only way.

    Trust me, I’ve been working through it for a while. Upgrading to 2.8.4 is a great move, always stay current…..but you most likely got hit before you upgraded…..now you gotta clean everything out.
