Beat diabetes) beatdiabetes.us footer link, hack activity

Solved. I deactivated the “Facebook, twitter, google new button” PLug-in.

What the Hell, the plugin is hacked?

Thanks,
Leonardo M. from Italy

I had the same issue at webGate website and I tried deactivating installed plugins and I found “WP Facebook Fan Box Widget- easy” was doing this. May be they are hacked I mean the plugin or they are doing it on purpose but any way the links are gone from the footer.

i thought this will help others to solve this.

it happen to me too at https://www.sthsgroup.com , i edited the php of the plugin and at the end i deleted this few lines:
add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘cre’);

function cre(){

echo ‘<style type=”text/css”>.hello </style>’;

echo ‘   <small class=”hello”>Beat diabetes</small>’;

echo ‘   <small class=”hello”>Diabetes diet</small>’;

}

i saved and the links disappeared from the footer without remove the plugin.
i hope it was useful to you.

Can you provide a link to the plugin?

of course..

here is the link of the plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/twitter-fb-like-google-1-and-fb-share/

i had the same problem with another plugin: wp facebook fan box widget easy.
you can find it here: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-facebook-fan-box-widget-easy/

i opened the php of the plugin before installing on my site and i see the same lines i specified in the previous post.

i resolved in the same way!

I had the same problem at https://www.hennalap.com after installing Facebook Fan Box and Twitter Fans plugins.

So far I have just turned the display off for the class “hello” in my CSS.

Would like to hear from others about this…

The common factor seems to be https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-facebook-fan-box-widget-easy/

it is more than a common factor..

if you unzip that plugin on your computer and open the .php with notepad you will see at the end of the file these lines:

add_action(‘wp_footer’, ‘cre’);
function cre(){
echo ‘<style type=”text/css”>.hello </style>’;
echo ‘ <small class=”hello”>Beat diabetes</small>’;
echo ‘ <small class=”hello”>Diabetes diet</small>’;
}

these lines add to the footer the links to beat diabetes and diabetes diet..
you have to delete these lines, upload the plugin with your ftp client and activate it.
in this way it will works without problems.

Please contact [email protected] about this plugin.

Thanks, I just sent the email.

I was going to suggest that 6 hours ago or so but got tied up in the real world. ??

Other plugins seem to have a similar issue: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/the-plugin-wp-delete-duplicate-posts-puts-beatdiabetesus-link-in-the-footer?replies=2

I posted my information as a reply – which the above post points to.

I also sent the information about the “Category and RSS widget menu” plugin containing the ‘Beat Diabetes’ to the ‘plugins@’ email address shown above as well..

NUTS. I’ve sent an updated email.

There are probably other plugins either from the same author or using that authors SVN account credentials.

Thanks everyone for the information.
Plugins have been removed and we will be investigating further.

Any other matters of concern please do send email to [email protected]

for me the offending plugin is WP RANDOM POST WIDGET
