In reply to: [Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall] Unauthorised Links InjectedThanks Eli
You’re a gentleman.:)
I have WordFence installed and every now and then is notifies me of a change in plugin files so I just select restore to original files.
I have since moved the main site to another host which seems better organised ans above all, is not unlimited use so there should be less abuse on the server.
WordPress seems to be taking a pounding these days and although I have all security in place, I still get attempted logins to access files that don’t exist because they are hidden from the bots.
Maybe the only thing left to do now is to change the url of the login page.
Is that a good idea Eli or should I just ignore it?Forum: Plugins

When I wrote the review I was extremely annoyed that although I started this thread, I was ignored and it was almost as if I never asked a quesrtion.
I don’t know how to remove the review so if you have any idea then feel free to let me know and I will remove it as it doesn’t say a lot anyway.The site seems clean as my host ended up helping me but I don’t know if the malicious code will return so I just have to monitor it.
There was obviously some misunderstanding in this thread and with you not receiving notifications of my posts, is it any wonder.Aloha

Could you have a look at my site to see if there is any file that is compromised?
I get the feeling you’re not interested in what I have to say which saya a lot really.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall] Unauthorised Links InjectedThe bad thing about this hack is that it’s likely that there is a backdoor that the hacker has left in place so that they can keep on doing it,

I don’t think this is a theme problem, it’s injected from plugin vulnerability.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall] Unauthorised Links InjectedI have also sent a Penguin spam report for the link on your site so that’s the third one I’ve reported this week and I’ve been assured it will be deindexed. 🙂
Whoever is doing this is wasting his time and money and everytime i see a link like this, I immediately report it so that it gets blacklisted.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall] Unauthorised Links InjectedIf you let me know how you get on and what you find please share it on this thread as it will be beneficial to me and others with the same problem.
Thanks

In reply to: [Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall] Unauthorised Links InjectedLooks like the same link.
Here’s what I did to remove it although I don’t know if it will come back because it ws injected from plugins, I’m not sure which one.1. Install Wordfence plugin
2. Make sure in plugin options, you select the theme file changes and plugin file changes.
3. Run scan and when complete, scroll down to results and click on retore file to original for plugin results.
4. For theme result if any, jus ignore until it changes.Check source code again and you’ll see that the link is now gone.
After this I installed Better WordPress Security as well to help hide some files and beef up security for the site.

In reply to: How to Remove a URL from a websiteI’ve checked the code and the link is always inserted in the exact same section.:
<body class="home blog logged-in admin-bar no-customize-support sidebar-right"><ul style=" height:0px; overflow:hidden"> <li><a href="http://quick-loans.tripod.co.uk">http://shortloans.tripod.co.uk</a> payday loans</li>I’m not a coder but everything seems to point to the Admin Bar that shows when you’re logged in/out.
Does anyone know how to get access to this in the files of WordPress?

In reply to: How to Remove a URL from a websiteThat should be Admin Bar is the culprit.:)

In reply to: How to Remove a URL from a websiteAfter digging around I’ve discovered tht all three sites on the same server at Bluehost have the same link inserted.
I’ve also discovered that the admin bat in WordPress is the likely culprit as it shows the link as being inside it and funnily, for the past month I’ve had problems with one of the sites logging me out every time I open a new page which takes up quite a bit of time when publishing many articles as everything is now done in dashboard.Still unable to find where the links are though, vrafy buggers these people aren’t they but I suspect this link was not placed htere to gain rank, more as a way to get me penalised. The site looks like it was knocked out during lunch with no intention og content or other.
If anyone has any advice part from linking me to techie articles, please feel free to post it here as it might help someone in a similar situation.
Thanks

In reply to: How to Remove a URL from a websiteHi
I don’t know if I should call it hacked, is there another word to describe this situstion?
I have access to the site but don’t know how the link was inserted.
I take all necessary security measures and still can’t seem to figure out how this link got there.
All I’d like to do is remove the link as it shows clearly in the page source code but I can’t seem to find it in the files.
Does anyone know which file I should look in to find the url so that I can delete it?Thanks
