I know. Utterly surprising. But really, my site has been in a constant state of red alert for the last year, being the victim of several sql injections into my database with the wp-stats trojan, which is easily blocked by any malware detection tool on a computer but unfortunately, renders my site flagged by google. This means that anytime folk come to visit my site (especially on Firefox) they see a big sign (on Firefox 3 it’s huge and red) warning them that my site is a supporter of viruses.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The series of attacks, in conjunction with my lack of posting when trying to fix the problem has brought my readership down from about 250 a week to maybe 15. The attack seems to occur only to my wordpress section of the Bible Archive which supports the idea that there is a inherent vulnerability in WordPress even though I don’t know what it is.<\/p>\n

What I’ve done so far is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. rename all my wordpress tables to have strange characters in front of them (so that a scanner looking for “wp_” won’t find anything).<\/li>\n
  2. put a security lock on my back end pages access (so I have to login twice to get there)<\/li>\n
  3. used strong passwords for everything (so I have to look at a written out document to log in)<\/li>\n
  4. prevented write access from certain folders in my backend (so going to a directory gives a warning)<\/li>\n
  5. Contacted my hosting provider (to make sure there wasn’t something up with the server)<\/li>\n
  6. Ran a site vulnerability program (showing no vulnerabilities)<\/li>\n
  7. Tried to backtrack the IP’s that launch the attack (usually go back to a russian site)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But the attack still gets through. I’m trying to get the IP information but it seems to revolve between Russia and the Ukraine. I never had this problem with mambo\/joomla. ::sigh::<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
