    Tagline to

    <h1> r0verm4n ownZzzz....<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.solinari.us/r00t.php"><noscript>
    PHP:

    You could restrict access to the wp-admin page to only users at your IP address. There's some plugin that does this. (Although if you regularly blog from coffee shops or something this would be a hassle.)

    It might help, but that depends how they hacked in...

    May be you have installed some new themse or plugin and this hack is done by that plugin or theme.

    Check for such issue.
