      A lot of free WP themes contain bad stuff these days. You don't need to hack servers to get a hold of WP blogs any more. Even the WP Themes page on wordpress.net contains a warning as more people have infected sites.

      There will also be moderation and review so that we can scan themes for XSS problems, malicious code, spam links, and other ways that people have been distributing malware themes.

        looks like a typical encoded footer code

          let me guess, you are seeing it in JUST the view code area, and not actually when you view the source of the page on the web?

          if so, that is a footer that has been encoded so you don't remove the sponsored links

          nothing malicious

            I have been installing 5-10 blogs a day, using all free themes, and not one single wordpress theme has ever had anything malicious in it

            can you show me examples?

            the great thing about getting them wordpress.net is that thousands of people a day grab them from there too, and if ANYONE tried anything evil, it would be removed and the user banned in minutes
