The first time around, we cleaned it up and thought we prevented it from happening again. Unfortunately, it happened again just yesterday.</p> <p>We did some further digging and discovered that we were not the only ones suffering. Just about anyone using WooThemes for their theme or the Timthumb script are at risk&#8212;unless you have either updated your WooThemes framework or your Timthumb code.</p> <p>The easiest way to do the latter is to use the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/timthumb-vulnerability-scanner/">Timthumb Vulnerability Scanner plugin</a>.</p> <p>This plugin checks to see if you are using the vulnerable, outdated script and then automatically updates it.</p> <p>I<strong>t&#8217;s worth running the plugin just to be safe. You may be using the Timthumb script (it&#8217;s used to create thumbnail images) without even knowing it.</strong></p> <p>Trust me, you don&#8217;t want to deal with cleaning up a malware attack.</p>http://andybeal.me/post/11071219871http://andybeal.me/post/11071219871Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:42:49 -0400<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ze5nCEmiamQ?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>What do you have going on this Sunday?
