 * Hi all,
 * My blog was first hacked a few days ago when I found my template had changed 
   and about 30 plugins had been uploaded and activated! I quickly changed my admin
   password, cpanel password and luckily had a recent backup which I restored.
 * Unfortunately, I just went into my admin area on WP and a load more plugins have
   been uploaded! I’m not sure what else I can do besides changing my admin password?
   The funny thing is I was using 2.3 for over a year with no problems and 2 weeks
   after I upgrade to 2.7.1 and this happens… lol
 * Does anyone have any tips/help/advise at all? It would be greatly appreciated.

 * Thanks, just reading through it now.
 * My WP says there’s two admins when there’s supposed to be one. But when I check
   it only lists one, which is mine! Is this normal?!

 * No it isn’t. Delete the one that is not you, use the control panel wp_users table
   if you have to. Then make yourself a new admin user, but not with admin as username,
   so you can also delete the old admin user.

 * Ok thanks, I just changed the admin name in wp_users, but still can’t find any
   other admin! However, I have noticed this user, which I’m not sure if it’s the
   hacker??
