 * Hi,
 * I have several sites running using themes I purchased from a high-end template
   site. The sites are related and there is a link to the other sites on each site.
   The templates are from the same template company but made by different authors.
 * I use WordPress file monitor and recently I’ve been getting emails like the following:
 * Changed:
    wp-includes/js/l10n.js wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js wp-content/themes/
   stereoline/js/jquery-1.4.1.min.js
 * The email has a link to the site and when I click on it I am taken to the site
   and then, after a short wait, redirected to some “celebrity gossip” site or similar.
   But if I try to go to the site itself again, I am no longer redirected. (The 
   file monitor alert exists inside the back end of wp as well so it is not a fake
   email.)
 * This has been happening to one site and then another. I contacted my hosting 
   company and they cannot detect any malware on my sites and assure me that their
   servers are secure.
 * I contacted the template companies and they tell me there are no “holes” in their
   templates. And as far as wordpress, I am using the latest version.
 * Not sure what to think anymore and how they are getting access to make these 
   changes. I use fairly strong passwords and have removed all ftp access to the
   server.
