    My security software blocked an inframe from loading today that originates on the woopra.com website.

    If you look at the top left hand of the index page, the following tries to load "<IFRAME>, text/x-php@http://prevedvsem123.cn/25/index.php"

    Here is a screen shot of the the issue: http://i35.tinypic.com/24wej2h.jpg

    I suggest you check your server security!

    Hi,

    It appears I have been similarly hacked. It may actually be a layeredtech problem as I also use a layeredtech server. Please contact me at the email address I entered while registering for this account today.

    Thanks,

    Hey,

    Started my computer an hour ago and found the same problem, I'm also a Layeredtech user. I found this thread through Google. Would appreciate any progress mentioned!

    I have done some investigating of this issue which is also affecting my sites and I have a LayerTech server: http://www.stephanmiller.com/bugs-viruses-backups-and-prevedvsem123cn/

    I have started a ticket with Layeredtech, haven't heard back from them yet (weekend just getting over).

  • Guys,

    As I mentioned on Stephan's blog, the situation is as follows:

    - Woopra was not hacked. Our client DB and stuff are secure. Plus, we don't have any sort of really juicy data such as your server login details anyway.
    - Woopra was indeed running WordPress 2.5 which had a vulnerability. Within an hour or so of WordPress getting compromised we updated and fixed it. All that happened was that a spammer put a link in our footer. This sucks, but it reminds us all that we need to routinely update our CMSs.
    - Layered Tech doesn't even have the login details for client servers, so there is simply no way access could have been gained to self-managed servers via that route.

    There may be some issues that are affecting others who are not running outdated versions of WordPress, but we can't really deal with them here. So, I'm closing this thread because we believe we fixed the Woopra error.

    If anyone starts seeing new spam links pop up please let us know by re-opening a new message and we'll take another look.

    John
