I got hacked
I go to my site in the morning and what do i see, a blank page with the phrase at the top “Defaced by R@Mi”. You never believe this will ever happen to your site, until one day it does.
The first thing that came to my mind, was the infamous email backups of the wp-db-backup plugin. This plugin is a life saver.
The damage was not that big, the hacker renamed my original index.php to index.php.wpau.bak, and replaced it with his own file. Nothing else was damaged.
Although the renamed filename points to the “Wordpress Automatic upgrade” plugin, index.php.wpau.bak, i can’t be sure that this plugin is the problem, maybe the hacker tries to distract the attention.
The versions i was using were WP 2.5.1 and “Wordpress Automatic upgrade” 1.2.1
Needless to say i upgraded both of them, WP to 2.6.1 and “Wordpress Automatic upgrade” to 1.2.2
Nothing i can do but wait and see..
