August 21, 2011 by

We have been very busy in our blog explaining about the latest TimThumb.php vulnerability and the affect it is having on WordPress web sites.

 

If you missed the articles, please check here:

After a few days, the malware started to evolve and the htaccess redirections changed to other domains: security-generation.ru, securitygeneration.ru, safenesscontent.ru, allowcompany.ru, securityinternet.ru, generation-internet.ru and allowupdate.ru

security-generation.ru
http://securitygeneration.ru/keys/index.php
http://safenesscontent.ru/s4one/index.php
http://allowcompany.ru/new/index.php
http://securityinternet.ru/upgrade/index.php
http://generation-internet.ru/pcollection/index.php
http://allowupdate.ru/source/index.php

(all of them registered by ivan-sushkin@yandex.ru)

So if you see any of those in your site, you know what is going on.

Testimonials

    • Let's be honest: the web can be a scary place sometimes. Having done many a WordPress malware cleanup in my day, I've found Sucuri to do a better job than I ever hoped I could do. Not only are they thorough, but they're fast as heck and affordable to boot. You don't just walk into a bad situation without some protection. Sucuri *is* that protection.

    • We partnered with Sucuri for our WordPress migration and dehacking services as their capabilities are significantly more comprehensive than anything we’ve seen in the industry.

    • I like to think I know security, but there is only one company I trust when it comes to the security of my websites, that company is Sucuri. They are, in my opinion, hands-down the leader in web-malware protection and cleanup services. Trust the experts, hire these fools!

    • When you’re talking about protection for your WordPress site and the things most important to you — your content — you want to trust the experts. There’s really no better choice than the team at Sucuri.

    • Before Sucuri we didn’t know that someone was hacked until they told us. (Or actually, when Google blocked their site!) Now we find and fix problems before they even know what’s happening. It’s a Godsend, it’s as simple as possible, and it’s so affordable that quite frankly it’s irresponsible to not use them!

    • As the owner of ClickHOST.com, a shared web hosting company, we are always fighting malware and spam. Recently we partnered with Sucuri and now all our accounts are monitored. I love this product! It not only protects our customers from malware, but these guys will fix a hack in 4 hours.

    • Sucuri is my go to service for web based security and are the group that I recommend, exclusively, to my clients and readers, in particular WordPress users.  They are affordable, they work fast and they get the job done – as a bonus, they’re a fun group to work with!

    • Though I believe my sites are secure, it would be inexcusable for me not to use Sucuri’s service and be absolutely sure around the clock.
