How Hackers Can Affect Your WordPress Blog Rss Feeds

Do you like this story?

WordPress blog is a free service & a best option to start blogging. It includes custom design templates, integrated statistics, automatic spam protection and many other features. WordPress also provides you many free plugins for your blog. However, this is a technology designed by anyone else and has its own share of drawbacks.

We think WordPress is free & we can install it easily & there are literally thousands of plugins for your WordPress blog. It looks so easy but we forget that this is a technology designed by someone else. They have the power & can tamper with our blogs anytime!

I have heard a lot about WordPress blog hacking & virus. It’s really hurts when in morning you submit an article to your blog & in evening your blog starts showing you some virus or other errors.

The same thing happened to my blog’s Rss feeds two days back. I was not aware of it till one of my subscribers told me about that. When someone would click on my Blog Rss then the following page would open:

Virus Effect

When I discussed this problem with one of my website developers, he gave me the following details:

Problem

A hacker has probably entered in to my WordPress blog Rss feeds & my blog feeds have stopped burning. It seems like hacker wanted to burn his feeds through my blog. May be I am wrong here but for me it is like virus. Moreover, I can’t do anything about this, I want my blog’s Rss feeds back!!

When I entered that same rss URL coming to my rss feeds on Google I found:

Virus

I have updated my blog already & have deleted my blog’s old files & installed new files, but the problem is still exists.

I think it happened because I installed a new plugin for feed stats & after that the problem started. So I would request you all to please read reviews for any Plugin before installing it to your blog. Always change your password once in a month. Always take backup once in a week or once in two weeks time for your database & blog files.

Note:- Anyone who can help me solve this issue, please write your comments.

    I am skeptical of this. I received over 9 comments with the identical message in them you got that Akisment marked as spam. They all came from a person named “Spy Wrist Watch”. Since my feeds are still being read, I am assuming this is a new ploy by spammers that just happens to look incredibly realistic (i.e., no typos or gibberish names)
