My blogs hosted on godaddy were hacked today (6/8 at 2:24pm) with the base 64 code. I am new to the world of websites, but found this forum and particularly drcopy’s post from 3 weeks ago very helpful.

My dashboards were showing up as pure text and wouldn’t let me edit or add any new pages or adjust the content. Then I found the extra text in php files and saw they had all been changed this afternoon.

For any other newbies like myself, I used drcopy’s advice:
“But since I am with GoDaddy, I use their “history” feature in the file manager. When I see that my sites are infected, I delete every PHP file in the root directory and delete ALL WP folders. Then I go back a day with the history feature and restore all these files. This takes just a few minutes. Done. Problem solved…until the next hack. “

Google ” godaddy restoring a linux hosting account” if you don’t know how to do the above- I didn’t. Then the only thing I was temporarily confused about was if you restore the files, godaddy will make you change the file names to include “restore” before you can finish the process. So then you’ve got to select them all and hit “rename” up in the tool bar and go back and take all those ‘restore’ additions out so they have their original names. At least, that’s the way I did it, and it worked. If there’s a way with less steps, maybe someone will let us know!
