See details at http://www.pearsonified.com/2010/04/wordpress-pharma-hack.php and http://blog.sucuri.net/2010/07/understanding-and-cleaning-the-pharma-hack-on-wordpress.html Measures: * Identified and cleaned files for each of the 3 parts of the infection (backdoor, plugin files and DB) * Compared the files with a clean wordpress install (and overwritten base WP files with fresh versions) * Removed all plugins files and re-installed them from scratch * Hardened the wordpress install using the instructions on http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress * Changed passwords (mysql and the 3 wordpress admins, ie @blanchard, @tartarugafeliz & me) * Changed the secret keys (which also logged off everyone) * Installed some security&monitoring WP plugins (WP Firewall, WP Bulletproof) * Checked system for rootkits (they just had access to the web user, but just to be sure) The spam the virus/hack was generating for Google is now gone, and hopefully the cleanup will prevent it from reappearing. If you see anything fishy or broken, let me know.

So please let me know if you still have issues with emails, or if you notice any side-effect/bug that could have been caused by the PHP downgrade.

Now as much as possible I use a different domain for each tool. Redirects have been put in place to make sure the old urls keep working - but let me know if you notice any dead link or a tool that doesn\'t work properly. Also, I\'ve reverted the wiki to its original mediawiki default skin - it looks much cleaner.
