some kind of leeching. HELP.

detoam · 11-26-2007, 07:15 PM

I am not sure where this to post, but I got an emergency on my hands. One of the sites I look after redirects to some other sites and I have no clue what I can do about it. Can anyone suggest something?
The domain in question is greenvote.ca

Regards.

Detoam, is it some kind of hacker attack? If it is you need to establish an ftp connection and check your files looking for redirections.

Thank you Bagi.

When an issue like this arises, please do NOT link live to the site. If it is a
hacked site, trojans will most likely be installed as well, infecting users using
Internet Explorer.

Thanks

I found the file, but now I can't even login.

Is there any database backup containing the original login/pass which may be imported via mysql dump? If you have no mysql backup you may solve the login using your wordpress database. Login into php myadmin copy your username and the encoded password, paste them into the database of the hacked website. After saving you will be able to login using the blog id/pass.

Now even accessing it is a problem. I think that someone hacked in and changed passwords or something. Because on the first try I get wrong password error, but on the second it redirects to a blank page.

It drives me crazy because the site belongs to my customer.

Upload your backup and review your logs

thats about all you can do

Hopefully you can get it to where it wont happen again

Detoam, do you have backup if not, you may ask the hosting provider to restore the earlier database.
