 * In my paggination list.
 * The normal pagination link:
    /page/56/ has change to: /page/56/?x=..%2F..%2F..%
   2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fetc%2Fpasswd
 * I test with Pagenavi and with Pagenumber, the problem is the same.
    When I clear
   the caché it’s return to normally.

 * I’m having problems with the hacking of my list of pagination.
    The normal link
   would be /page/56/ But is: /page/56/?x=..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2F..%
   2Fetc%2Fpasswd I triet to replace a pugglin of pagination wp-pagenavi to pagenumber
   and the problem is still there. The problem apparently only happens when WP-cache
   is being active and the only solution that I found is clear my caché. After a
   few hours, I have the problem again with the links being infected.

 * It looks like someone was trying to brute force a remote file inclusion trick
   on your pagination. /etc/passwd is your unix password file. It’s encrypted, but
   the passwords can be cracked if they are common enough.

 * However, it wouldn’t make sense for WordPress to directly feed this variable 
   into the command line, so I don’t think the culprits were successful. If anything,
   the thing you should watch out for there is SQL injection.
