This guy MUST be a script kiddieSo a script kiddie visited me the other day (virtually). I watched them create an account and go about their script kiddie ways. I was eager to see what would happen (hurray for server logs). Things were still up when I went to bed, so I figured they either had given up or I’d find a present in the morning.
Sure enough I received an email in the early hours that the site had been hacked. It wasn’t anything ground-shaking and here we are all restored.
The bit I found interesting, that I didn’t find in any searches out there, was that they changed the data in the Word press theme I was using to reflect their own site.
So if this should happen to you, take a peek into your wp_content/themes/(current theme your using)/index.php folder and see if some code hasn’t appeared that shouldn’t be there.
P.S. of course this means you’ll have to recreate any accounts you had. The databases needed some flushing.
