Have you kept your WP installation up-to-date? Do you have security precautions in place such as security plug-ins (WordPress File Monitor, Exploit Scanner, Secure WordPress), strong passwords, and other best practices? I suggest reading up on WordPress security – although there are no surefire ways to prevent hacking, there are a whole range of preventative measures you can take.

Good luck!

Wow. Thank you for all of this information!
Yes, every time WP has a new version I upgrade, but I am unsure as to security precautions (translation: No, I don’t have that). I’ll have to check that and then get to work on the site.

Thanks again!

So this could be the pharma hack even though the links are actually within entries and are viewable to all?

It may be a variant – whatever it is, you may want to go through the steps here to clean up everything permanently and prevent future attacks:

Yes it’s the pharma hack- I just got it too, and fixed it. I’ve written about it here:

I really hope my fixes work out, otherwise I’m going to be really angry/bummed.

Some good plugins to keep in mind (security minded):
Admin Bar Removal
Block Bad Queries
Login Lockdown
Theme My Login / WP Hide Dashboard
Wp-Security-Scan

As well as the treasure trove of info provided above.
