    In late February 2008, my site (Formatmag.com) was hacked and heavily injected with pharmaceutical copy/links. I have just identified this problem and am trying to find the source/script that is implementing the copy so I can upgrade and fix this.

    Has anyone else ran into this issue and know where this is occuring, or does anyone have an idea of where/how I might find the stray scripts/code?

    You need to be a bit more proactive about managing your server space, if nothing else as a courtesy to those who share that space with you.

    Keep WP updated. Right now if you just want to upgrade to 2.5.1… to avoid the headaches that 2.6.x brings, that should stop hackers. Why have you just now found out about a hack that occurred six months ago?
