Wordpress blogs, hacked and how to protect and recover your blog
HI i was having a very peculiar issue with my wordpress where i was not able to login and it was not throwing an incorrect password as well. I logged into the cpanel for my hosting and saw that there were constant DB queries happening and that created a havoc on the web host side as well.
to solve the issue i did the following:
disable all plugins from the DB
reinstall and upgrade WP to 2.8.4
There is no cause for concern because the password is not stolen but a rogue plugin can bring down your blog.
If you face such issues please contact me and i will take your thru it. its a not a big deal, but this post is just FYI.
Damn you Vineet! I am sure thatr you wrote that plugin! :)
Dude, would you have a list of plugins you had active at the time?
Yes, i figured the faultly plugin here was Twitter Dashboard that was modded. It had made entries in all the *.js files of the WP installation.
I had 44 plugins active that time. It boiled down to this one wonly!
