Customers WordPress site got hacked. They use Network Solutions as their host. Network Solutions took their site offline. We had to delete all the WordPress files, upload a clean version, and put their content and theme back. After that the site was back up and running.

I reviewed the site to make sure the permalinks didn’t cause a problem. On one page there were banners ads showing up.

The issue turned out to be a form Cross Site Scripting or SEO poisoning. There was a database entry that had the extra text in it. Here is the text below.

There were multiple entries under this title. I used the source to figure out the actual page is was effecting. It was entry 361. There were approximately 20 revisions, but it was the original 361 that took the script off the site. It was in some revisions but not all.

I hope this helps someone else….
