    My host is http://www.otthosting.com but I was also hacked when I was on another host last week. I actually changed hosting companies thinking it was the host’s server but then a few days later my site was attacked on a new server.

    The servers are shared and are on Linux as far as im aware. Its only our directory that is being affected, our host checked the other sites on his server including those also using wordpress and they were clean.

    I am the only person who has access to my PC and only 2 people, myself and the site’s other administrator have access to FTP. we have both been tearing our hair out trying to stop these hacks.

    Your source code looks clean to me. My site was hacked 6 times last week and the first thing I noticed was a malicious script running before the <body> tag. Yours doesnt have anything like that as far as I can see. It could possibly be your server is experiencing temporary problems.

    Man, I was hacked as well with exactly the same things as you listed!(see thread) What plugins were you using? It could be that the hackers got in to our sites through an SQL injection which means adding things to the database. I could be wrong though

    OK, since I was hacked for the 5th time I have kept WordPress removed from my server. I would really appreciate it if you guys could guide me through what to do. Ive tried out some other CMS’s as was told to move away from WordPress, but I just keep coming back.. none of the others do it for me. I really do not want to have to stop using WordPress as it does everything I need and more.

    So, currently I have a clean server. Here is the theme I intend to upload, If anyone could scan it and give me the all clear before I get started I would be much appreciated. http://www.sendspace.com/file/1fopvz

    Thanks

    Hey, Ive completely wiped the wordpress just to protect the visitors of the site because we do get a lot of visits.

    Well first, the infection happened with another theme ComfyPro to be precise. so then we did a clean reinstall of wordpress and changed to a custom one and it returned. Whenever we are infected, I don’t just replace the files I think are infected, I completely remove wordpress and the database and start new but after a day or two, they strike again.

    All of the plugins we download are from WordPress.org. The plugins we were using on the last clean install which we thought was secure enough were

    – WP Security Scan
    – AntiVirus
    – Login Lockdown
    – Exploit Scanner
    – WP Firewall
    – Custom Field Template
    – WP to Twitter

    We’re starting to think that these hackers may be from a rival site as they dont seem to be giving up.

    Thanks for the reply. I do daily scans with Microsoft Security Essentials and it doesnt pick up anything. the only other person who has FTP access does too but again it doesnt pick anything up.
