Latest WP version hacked – please help!
-
Hi Everyone,
There appears to be a serious problem on our hands, and I am hoping to get some help as I am not a technical person.
It looks like there is a WordPress vulnerability in the latest version which has resulted in our blog being hacked.
Perhaps it is an SQL injection, but what is happening, our article content is being changes behind the scenes with spam words such as “Buy Prozak Without Prescription”.
Our articles are even being indexed by Google with the spam titles/descriptions, but what is funny is that if you go to the actual page, these words do not appear anywhere in the source code of the page, but are clearly visible with Google cache.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are concerned because it is clear there is an issue (maybe a security breach) that could significantly adversely affect our Google News and organic search rankings.
I am hoping to identify the problem and to completely eradicate it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is very costly to publish news, and having spammers undermine our efforts is very wrong.
Thanks everyone in advance for help, really, it is greatly appreciated.
Hopefully a fix is possible and that any issue identified by the WordPress team could be patched ASAP.
Thanks!
