StopBadware.org: Crenk Got Attacked by Korea
You might have noticed towards the end of last week Crenk got hacked and someone from South Korea placed malicious software onto our website. The only way I could get rid of it was to reinstall Wordpress. The site is now back to normal and it is functioning fine. However, this being said, the intrusion has caused us a great deal of problems and has also killed our traffic. Google has placed the site on watch and has been suspended from their search results until the problem has been resolved. Now it has all been resolved so Google will be placing the site back up in the next day. Thank you good people at Google. This cost us a lot of traffic!
Has anyone else had the same problem or a similar one?

Not yet, fingers crossed, and all that. I did write about what you can do if Google labels your site malware, though.

I’ve been there, and had that happen on a company site before. We thought we fixed it three times, but somehow they kept on getting back in and modifying our WP template files. It was bad. We were listed as badware for months!
Formsalespros.com which uses Word Press recently encountered a hacker who came in modified a post by putting in a link to site that provides online gambling. I am about ready to pull the plug on this blog if I can’t figure out how to prevent this from happening again. If you know of a fix please share it. Thanks.
