I am an Internet Marketer, and I also do tech support for other Online marketers. This evening, as soon as I got online I received an IM from one of my marketing buddies. They were in a panic that many of their sites had been hacked.
So I decided to look into it for them and I also came across this script.

This script replaced the functions.php file in a wordpress theme file.

Im assuming someone cracked the password for this blog and added the code through the theme editor. Then by using the script, I assume, they modified many wpconfig files that were on this server.

This was a baby croc host gator web account, with about 20 or so blogs. It took me about 3 hours to get everything straightened out.

But In the end, I got my hourly wage, and ended up with a copy of this cool script

While browsing through Technorati, I just stumbled on a post about a shell script attack. It seems the poor chap got a shell script uploaded to his server, and the attacker used it to create a bunch of bogus files full of hyperlinks.
