 * Just want to ask if there is a known source of this site hacking problem we are
   having. Mainly on sites which have been ‘given over’ to clients to maintain themselves
   and they haven’t updated !
 * I have spoken to Namesco where most of the sites are being hosted on, they suggested
   updating (which I did – some sites not on php5 so have done that too.) and stripping
   the hacking script out , which I have done. i have also looked any plugins that
   were on the sites. And made sure the was an api secret key added (so that it 
   forces a re-log in).
 * Looking at plugins on the sites which were hacked, I cannot see any common ones,
   could they be getting in through TinyMCE Advanced, I have de-activated it.

 * Just thought you might be interested in a similar problem that I have been investigating.
 * I don’t use WordPress, but have several sites built on Joomla. One of these suffered
   problems two weeks ago, the main thing being a script called easystats analytics.
 * Most of my sites are hosted by Fasthosts and are all OK. However, the site which
   was affected is not with Fasthosts, but Namesco!
 * Coincidence? I’m not convinced. I think I’ll have a word with Namesco and see
   what they have to say.
