Symptoms of a Wordpress Hack
Posted on November 2nd, 2009 2 commentsI came to my site on Sunday morning ready to write the latest in my PHP tutorial, only to find a nasty looking 500 server error. I couldn’t even log into the admin panel.
After a while tinkering with various configuration settings and trying to get something to come up, I started searching the web. Turns out, earlier versions of Wordpress were vulnerable to specific hacks that could let attackers create their own admin users.
