 * hi
 * i noticed this morning that a number of plugins on my blog (wp blog stats, print,
   email) were deactivated.
 * this is weird, along with the other problem i experienced 2 days ago, ie. i edit
   a post as well as a page, press save and they are DELETED instead of being saved.
 * seems a hacker may have got into my blog?
 * any ideas?
 * thanks
 * clivesgt

 * I assure you that if someone successfully uploaded a php shell, as if referenced
   in that other thread, that what you are describing would not be the worst of 
   your troubles.
 * In other words, azaozz, it’s really poor form to point people to THAT thread 
   without knowing the facts — even IF youre just asking a question.
 * Nothing you’ve described suggests a hacker, clivesgt, but since you had an older
   version exploited did you make SURE upon upgrading that all and any passwords
   were updated/changed as well? Did you make sure that you have no unknown users
   with administration access?
 * Have you tested clean install of WordPress, perhaps in a sub directory, to see
   if what you are seeing is duplicatable? If it is, and you see it in a fresh install
   with a clean database, then the problem is with you, your browser, or your hosting
   set up.
