The theme on my crappy blog (Dave's Internet Marketing Ramblings) has been hacked, and I can't for the life of me work out how to fix it.

The only damage that I can see is that a link keeps adding itself to my list of links for a site: WordpressSupplies.com which I've had a look around and it seems it's happened to others in the past.

I can delete the link, but it always comes back. I'm wondering if they're are any other major security issues I need to worry about regarding this, or if it's just some silly little link injection.

I've looked through my theme files and can't find any malicious code. I've got the latest version of Wordpress, and the theme is just a modified "default" theme so I can't understand how it's got buggered.

Any suggestions?
 


Have you checked with your ISP about the availablitly of a backup for the most recent date that it was operating correctly?
 
The article abhorrent links to is great, you might have that very problem. It's interesting though that you say you're using the default theme - are you sure you downloaded it from WP and not from somewhere else?

Also, did you ever upgrade to a Wordpress version 2.6.4? That's a fake WP version.

I'd try to reinstall the theme first. If that doesn't help, you can send it over and I can take a quick look at it, if you like.

I'm not sure what you mean, if you mean does the host have a backup then I'm not sure. I don't know exactly when the problem started.

Thanks for the link. I read that the other day, but I missed the part about functions.php. I had another long search and couldn't find any erroneous code.

Yea I'm gonna install the theme again and see what happens. I'm positive that it's the right one, and I've just upgrade from 2.6.5 to 7, I never had the fake 2.6.4 - I guess I'm just screwed.
