All our WP installs have been hacked twice in the last 24 hours as per this report –

Seems this is a current an ongoing problem – anyone looking for (or found) a security fix?

Thanks,
Paul N.

There are no known security issues with WordPress 3.5.1. Your sites being hacked does not indicate that there is such a problem unless you have concrete evidence to the contrary. What you do need to do work your way through these resources:

Anything less will probably result in the hacker walking straight back into your site again.

Is more likely the site had been hacked previously and in that previous hack, hacker had installed some back door scripts. This is a common event. Never surprises me when I view a hacked site and find back door scripts had been installed months prior.

Security fix?
Look for out of place scripts and likewise be sure to change “all” passwords related to the site (WP admins, Email passwords, FTP passwords, etc.).
