Can anyone tell me how can someone else FTP access to install link codes into my template files ? Every now and then I notice strange link codes in the template files of my blogs. They are links to blogs that I don't know. It's starting to piss me off. Has anyone else experienced this ? I am the only one with access to FTP besides my host and I trust them wholeheartedly.
Most likely you are using an old and vulnerable version of blogging software. Security holes allow insert arbitrary code in any files without FTP access. Anyway, bad guy can simply steal your passwords if your local computer is indected, or just use a brute-force attack if your passwords are weak. However links in blog template files are usually caused by security holes in the blogging scripts. Upgrade as soon as possible.
