 * I just noticed I had several htaccess files uploaded to my
    wp-content uploads
   and upload sub folders
 * The htaccess files had a redirect going to a URL looking something like this 
   84f6a4eef61784b33e4acbd32c8fdd72 . com
 * I’ve deleted the files now, but I was wondering if this is a WP problem or hosting
   problem. I’ve contacted my host and am awaiting a response.
 * Is there anything else I can do in the meantime?
 * thanks
 * Using WordPress 3.0.1
    upgrading now.

 * It’s nothing from WordPress but you might want to check that your site hasn’t
   been [hacked](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked).
