Massive Number of GoDaddy WordPress Blogs Hacked

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sucks-to-be-them dept.

A nasty little exploit has hit a large number of GoDaddy-hosted WordPress blogs this weekend. The best part is that the exploit only executes when the traffic is referred by Google, making it the sort of thing that site maintainers won't easily notice. Clever and devious.

    Whats with the dig at McDonald's customers?
    Wanting a burger and fries in less than 5 min for less than 5$ != ignorant.
    Wanting a website for less than 9$/month != ignorant.
    Characterizing people that go to McDonald's as ignorant == ignorant.
    Everyone knows fast food isn't fine dining, and that godaddy isn't business-grade web hosting. That doesn't mean there is no reason besides ignorance for using McDonalds and godaddy.

    BTW, I have seen some very serious eaters at McDonalds.
