 * My RSS Feed on WP 2.8 Bytes for All Ataluhpa theme has been hacked with this 
   error code:
 * RSS Error: XML error: Invalid document end at line 339, column 40
 * At that line, there is a big chunk of garbage text. How do I eliminate garbage
   text on that line and restore the feed?
 * A file named `wp-bewv.php` was added to WordPress folder on that day. Wasn’t 
   by me…anyone know anything about it?

 * I’m OK with WordPress, but don’t know much about RSS and how the feed fits into
   the template.

 * WordPress 2.8.x has some often discussed and well known exploits and vulnerabilities.
   Although this is only one of the many ways your site can be compromised, failing
   to keep up with upgrades and security releases can be the most common and easiest
   avenue of opportunity for people seeking to take advantage of security holes 
   on un-patched web site platforms.
