    Hey all -

    I have a quick question on my blog, www.chrisblogging.com. If you check the source code you will see a lot of content on cell phones, etc. It is unrelated to my site. Every time I delete the content via the WP admin panel theme editor new content is quickly added.

    Obviously, there is some sort of "hacking" going on. Could somebody give me an idea?

    Thanks in advance -

    Make absolutely sure that your theme folder is not set on 777. If it is change to something safer where outside world cannot edit your themes.

    IF that is occuring it means you've already been hacked and your blog is infected. You should do a clean install of wordpress and plugins and check your theme files. Then you should use a backup version of your database.

    Consider using the AskApache Password Protection plugin to prevent this from happening in the future.
