Out of pure curiosity, I looked to see what viruses are still haunting WordPress blogs and from what I found, it seems that there were problems with others as well, if not with the stressful exploit this week, they had problems with other types of viruses. Of course, it is on anyone's mind, as who makes a plugin of WordPress, can mass infect hundreds or even thousands of blogs with a simple SQL Injection. For those who create wordpress themes, it is very simple to put in a file, a malicious code that no one will notice. There are some themes where the author, in order to protect his "design by", encoded footer.php in base64 (I hate this procedure!). Look for decoders online (there are plenty), and see if the file is really clean. How many of you check a plugin before uploading it to FTP and installing it? How many of you check the sources of a theme in detail before using it on your blog? 10%? 20%? About 20%...
To have a blog for Adsense, or to stand out in a community, company blog, fun, IT or anything else, requires work and time...
Carefully check the files that arrive on the server, before they cause damage.
P.S. I was not among the 20%..
