Spam injection hack: Upgrade and tighten WP now!

Well, to me it really feels like the same thing - just as you describe - suddenly going from no spam to 50 a day in moderation, stuffed with dozens of links.

I haven't dared to try a new post - they say it will crash the blog, by appending a huge spam at the bottom of each post.

So, you went into the database itself and deleted this odd entry?

And you upgraded to the latest version first?

Thanks for the info. Good catch.
