noindex being inserted by hack?
-
My WP site is hosted by MediaTemple. I recently noticed that on some posts, the following has been inserted into the header:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
The code isn’t in my template, and it’s not in the archive version from when it was originally posted. Lending weight to the idea that I’ve been hacked is that the posts into which this code has been inserted are similar, topically–my site author is a journalist and the noindex’d posts aren’t flattering to a particular organization my author is writing about.I’m lost as to where to start but I’d like to figure out how this happened, and how to prevent it in the future. Thanks in advance for any help.
