Spam injection hack: Upgrade and tighten WP now!

[Ms Naughty]

Hi guys
Well, ronnie warned me here: http://greenguysboard.com/board/showthread.php?t=46438
and I did listen, but I was just putting it off for a few days. Too late.

I've just spend a couple of hours working out wtf happened to my blog and it turns out I was hit by something called a "spam injection hack."

Info here:

Essentially, if you find all your plugins suddenly disabled and you're suddenly getting a bunch of comment emails - do something quick!

Here's the WP boards info about how to fix it:

Also this one:

I upgraded to 2.5 but it doesn't necessarily fix it and you may need to start deleting injected files from your db.

So I'll link to these pages while I'm here:

Now I feel so naked and vulnerable... |shocking|
