I know this is sort of silly, but it's bothering me, feel free to disregard
if I'm just too OCD.
I know you mods try to keep the forums free of links and references to
black hat hacker resources. This is specifically in reference to a very old
thread, but it is a thread used by many mods and members as a resource in
response to hacked site questions:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/exploits-and-godaddy?replies=28#post-1065779
This is a very useful post with good info. My issue is with a post several
posts down that is from member glennn that contains a script s/he found on
his/her site that in part contains a long string of text that looks like
this: "$!#u$!#m$!#e$!#n$!#t$!#.$!#w$!#r".
This is obfuscated malicious iframe injection HTML that I, being far from
having any cryptographic skills, was able to decode in less than a minute.
I doubt the referenced malicious web page is still active, but I certainly
wasn't going to load it to see! Still, I don't think we want this kind of
information hanging around, even if obfuscated and old.
If this is indeed too OCD, I'm sorry I wasted your precious time, but
thanks for your attention. I feel better now, regardless of the outcome.
