Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.

I was wondering why one file kept going back to 200 permissions. I saw that you said there was over 1000 spaces and then the malicious code so I looked at the file and boom there was the malicious code.
I am very grateful for this post, thanks again.

Thanks for your note, James. So far, clean up for me has involved downloading the files via FTP, stripping out the malicious code, and re-uploading.

Once I’m sure I’ve gotten everything in a particular WordPress install, I’m uploading a fresh copy of the latest version of WordPress. Then I run the database upgrade if that installation wasn’t already running the latest version.

As far as prevention goes, I am hopeful that having an updated version of WordPress and patching all plugins, removing any that are no longer being updated, will help prevent this from reoccurring.

Thankfully, the latest versions of WordPress will now automatically discover and install updates (at least to WordPress core), so leaving an old unpatched site lying around is going to become more and more difficult to do.

The malware goes after index.php, wp-config.php and header.php and injects a huge chunk of obfuscated code right at the beginning of the file. In your post you never do say how you cleaned up the code or how you’re going about preventing it from happening in the future. Any thoughts?
