Possible Hack/Strange Search Engine Behavior
-
Early this morning, an IP resolving to my own hosting service sent a series of post requests to kses.php in a 2005-era theme directory. Though I have deleted the theme, I noticed that my site then immediately received a few GETs with odd search strings attached, and, shortly thereafter, googlebot commenced an extensive scan of my site with the same type of randomized GET strings. They are all of the form of “GET /?CJuh[about twenty-five random characters.”
My site seems to have disappeared from google. I’ve also just noticed that yahoo’s search bot is doing the same thing. I’m using 2.8.4, and my searching hasn’t revealed this particular issue as a security problem, and perhaps it is a coincidence.
Any advice you have would be appreciated.
