    Hey guys please give me some suggestion. I found couple of days ago that one of my wordpress blog http://healthfitnesstip.com that I was not monitoring for quite some time, has been market as stolen by IBAD. The name of the site has been changed to "Hacked by IBAD". Previous wordpress theme is changed too. I do not find the added widgets in my blog expect category widget. Could you please suggest me what to do at the moment? Do you have any information about IBAD?

    Uninstall and reinstall your site if you have Database and wp-content backup with you.
    And if you don't even have backup then get it first asap!

    I doubt it was the actually wordpress script that got hacked. It was most likely something in your server that was weak, and they were able to ftp into your server.

    I suppose you are right. That is possibly the error script shown by wordpress when someone breaks though the ftp a/c.
