    Ok that clears things up! Ill make sure not to include any obfuscated code if I ever develop a theme, just to prevent these kinda discussions/worries πŸ˜‰

    Ok in that case, could a moderator remove the dev’s name from my post earlier? I dont want to give anyone a bad name.

    Those are some very helpful links esmi thank you.
    Superdave300, after checking google you seem to be right, but I still dont understand why a developer needs to use a obfuscated version.

    Ok, im quite new to this obfuscated code, this code is in a plugin used by the theme (fancybox), I think it could be used to protect the code from being copied? I now simply removed these files from my server, because I dont use this plugin. Would that be sufficient?

    And its not using the eval(base64_decode, but eval(function( . Im just being extra careful because my site has been hacked over and over lately, and I wasnt able to find out why. Today I did a full reupload after completely wiping the files from the server, so if it happens again it means there is or a backdoor somewhere, a leak in the software or a problem at my host.

    Not using this theme would mean i have to set up a completely new website, which would currently take too much time for me.

    I just got a response back, he says its used by millions and def not malicious. I did some more research on the file, and it seems to be used a lot. Could you explain me why you think its malicious? Because now I dont know who to believe…

    Ok, I just wanted a second opinion on this. I just contacted the developers.

    Its not a free theme, its a premium wordpress theme bought at a respected website. So Im pretty sure the developer will care.

    Ok thank you, yes it came as part of my theme, and its also in the source theme files. Could you maybe explain me why this is malicious? (so I can tell that to the theme developer)

    Thank you for your response. Yes I know the base64_decode code is always malicious, but this code block doesn’t contain base64_decode, but only the eval command with lots of random characters.

    Sorry for posting this explicitly in code blocks, here is the paste bin:

    Thank you in advance

    I have exactly the same problem, Ive just been hacked for the fourth time and I cant find out the cause of this. Maybe its a good idea to post our plugins and theme here so we can compare them?

    My plugins:

    – Akismet
    – BackWPup
    – Google Analytics for WordPress
    – Google XML Sitemaps
    – Hello Dolly
    – SEO friendly images
    – TimThumb Vulnerability Scanner
    – Wordbooker
    – WordPress SEO
    – WP-SimpleViewer
    – WP Maintenance Mode

    My theme:

    Village from Theme Province

    I really hope we can solve this together, because its driving me crazy :p

    Ive had the exact same code injected in my JS files, Ive been able to clean all my files. But Im really wondering how I can prevent this from happening in the future and how this could’ve happened. Is there anyone who could provide me more information about this?
