Today when browsing through Google Webmaster I noticed I had this warning “Notice of Suspected Hacking” for one of my sites.

One of my non gambling WordPress sites has been hacked. My NOD32 Antivirus blocked a threat called JS/Kryptik.LU trojan when visiting any page on this site. It must have placed a cookie as it would only do it once.

So I uploaded a plugin called WP Security Scan which helped me secure my site. I also signed up for a free beta account at Website Defender. They scanned my account and found two possible malicious files:
wp-content/plugins/oiopub-direct/include/fusion.php
wp-content/avatars/lightwindow.php

These files had some seriously suspicious code in them. I’ve deleted them and my site seems to be fine for now. Keeping my fingers crossed.

On one of my sites the plugin said

“Change your database table prefix to mitigate zero-day SQL Injection attacks.”

Is this a very real threat?
