Lots more going on beneath the surface! Permalinks and hidden admin users! This blog post worked for me to clean house: http://blog.nachotech.com/?p=125

I also renamed my xmlrpc.php and wp-register.php files as a stop-gap solution. It seems 2.8.4 blogs are safe so far. I am guessing 2.8.5 will be out ASAP to correct this is 2.8.4 doesn’t.

Hi Kirsty,
Thanks for that. I’ll drop a note to my server admin.

For those who’re using fantastico/cPanel, it should be an easy fix from the “mySQL database” or “phpMyAdmin” consoles.

Andrew – a colleague also affected has just told me that most people affected will also have had a new admin inserted directly into their SQL database that doesn’t show up in Wordpress interface.

I found this had been placed into my SQL db, it has obviously been stored for later foul internet deeds to be performed…

Thanks so much Andrew, my blog was also similarly affected and I’ve followed your instructions to fix the issue. I’d have been completely stumped without this post.

Wonder if they’re targeting online marketers, the rotters?!

They got me. Thanks for the info on how to clean it up. Wasn’t as cut and dried as you made it sound… had some trouble with my htaccess file. But it’s all good now!
