Grrrrr my wordpress blog has been HACKED
 

Can I fix it or do I just have to reinstall everything?

WTF?

:mad:

How was it "hacked"?

Ya, it's been hacked. All of my content is gone and it has a post called YOU HAVE BEEN HACKED BY BLOGBURGLAR

WTF......Grrrrr. I'm reinstalling everything. Someone must have figured out my password. Oh well, I am reinstalling the whole thing and starting over with a new password. At least I have the content still.


FUCKING BLOGBURGLAR...how gay is that? :mad:

It's totally gay..... "they must have figured out my password".
They - familair?
or was it a program that scans pass?

"BLOGBURGLAR" LAMO

Sorry to hear about your site.

I have no idea who or what did it. I may have time to look at my server logs later on tonight and figure it out. DAMMIT

Glad I had all the content saved in a folder, but I have to redo all the posts .......

That's gay.
Probably the same person sending me 300 SpaCash spams a day. :helpme

username: admin
password: (not 'admin' right?)
HEH

I think the BLOGBURGLAR is the Hamburglar's cousin.

You sig is too big, and I have no doubt it will be removed shortly.

so what was the pw

YARGH! Could mirror a blog easily using rss. if one gets hacked pull the feed back into the hacked one from non-hacked. Autoblogger Pro does this perfectly. I am backing up one blog to another install, and if I want to get anything back I just reverse them.

I have been bad and not backing up my WordPress MySQL database.

Is there a quick way to do this on multiple blogs?

They are randomly generated by WordPress during the install.

YARGH! Ah... Someone may have figured out the algo, and brute forced it.

I have not done this yet but I think you can change it.

If you select "Users" and then "Your Profile" and look at the bottom of the page it says,

New Password (Leave blank to stay the same.)

So, where do we get this magical Autoblogger -- http://autoblogger.com/ -- ? -- ;)

You can run multiple WP blogs on a single MySQL.

damn that really sucks dude

so autoblogger prevents this from happening... aight?

YARGH! http://www.autobloggerpro.com or just type autoblogger pro in google it'll be there somewhere :)

No. It won't prevent it, it'll save your site if it does. It's not meant for this at all, but can do it. I am doing it with my demo site. I have an exact duplicate of every post made on one pulled by another. If the main one was to get hacked, I could simply set the one that was hacked to pull all the posts back in from the other.

Damn! Lots of ramblin' there YARGH!

Make sure you are using the latest version (1.5.2 I think) as it may have been an exploit in an earlier version that allowed the unauthorized entry

There is a plug-in that I use for backing up. You can set it to auto back-up using cron. Let me find a link.

Here it is

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I'm not much of a technical guy, but for one of my hosts all i have to do is log into cpanel and click on the backup icon and it click a few more times to backup all of my mysql databases.

IO have a cron job setup for all my db ( wordpress, shopping carts, etc...). It emails me one a day the DB, so I actually have a copy on MY system.


To prevent more hacking: rename the folder and page of the admin for something else, and do the corresponding changes in the php files. If the hacker doesn't know were it is or how it is called, it makes it way more difficult.

^ agreed

that's funny as fuck, but sorry to hear about you loss


blogburglar? HAHHAHAHAHHA

ROBBLE ROBBLE

You must be psychic. :winkwink:

what version of wordpress were you running?

you backup the mysql db n such on occasion?

No, this should be done BEFORE the burglary, Juice -- :winkwink:

2hp

hahah...

OWNED!

MUHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Sorry, meant to mention in my post about your actual question. It depends on what has been done to the site I guess. Have you actually checked the DB to see if the data is still there. Just a thought.

What version of wordpress were you using?

Man that's a cowardly thing to do fucking with someone's biz.

That's only IF your host has gotten CPanel to update their stuff. Using this and ZenCart myself, I can tell you that CPanel is about two to three releases behind normally. I don't trust cPanel to update. That's my job.

Go to the WordPress website. Go to the Download Page. They will have listed there the current version of the software. Check your current version (at the bottom of any Wordpress admin page) If you have to update, download the software. Unzip it to your local PC.

FTP to your site. IF you have done your theme the proper way (using the wordpress tools) then you just need to upload the software over top of the existing software (after backing it up and backing up the SQL database of course). If not, then copy the files that are your theme to a local directoy on your PC, backup the current version and upload the new install. Rename the "Install" directory and CHMOD one of the files in the "admin" folder to 444 so it can't be changed. Put your theme back in place if you need to.

Go and check your blog out and make sure everything is working correctly and that's it. Takes about 10 minutes or so.

How do you back up a mysql db?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Install phpmyadmin its real easy then.

I checked my raw server logs. Showed someone on my website for 2 + hours. I bet that's whoever did it. Grrrr.

The fucking BLOGBURGLAR.

Now that it's fixed, I can laugh at the blogburglar design. Funny shit.

And thanks to your advice, guys, I'm backing up all of my posts now.

its one thing for someone to hack your shit, but at least they didnt hack AND take the blog's url (that happened to me on blogspot.com 2 weeks ago).

i didnt put up a big fuss though cuz i switched that blog to a .com anyways. all it had was a re-direct script on it to the .com so whatever.
