Site hacked and Q’s about Exploit Scan results
-
posting on behalf of a friend of mine who recently had some suspicious returns on the google analytics.
upon viewing the source of her site, i found a huge list of hidden links.
i searched this forum for similar problems and answers and found some good info, but i’m still unsure as to why and how this happened.
she’s running the latest version. to help her out i ran exploit scanner. the results showed several entries related to the plugins ‘sociables’ and ‘nextgen gallery’ as well as the theme ‘fresh’. it seems to point to various bits in jquery and js files.
so… what should i about those specific items? i plan on sanitizing her directory, start with a new install, hand comb her database entries for dubious content, and change all passwords, but what of those things? should i not have her use nextgen and sociables plugins? or use that theme?
