Seriously though, they knew. I was a Monitoring Operator for years and you can tell.
1. The system would have stopped sending daily test signals. There was their first clue.
2. They would have received some sort of panel tamper when you removed the system.
3. They definitely would have received a communication trouble.

A few lines of perl could probably download a test post, strip out the bits that are expected to change and then calculate the size and compare it to the last run. You could even run such a test hourly and have it email you whenever there’s a change.

Nice post,

We must be aware that people outhere try to get benefits from our blogs which have real high traffics.

This article shows simple way to overcome such problem.

I guess everybody agrees with me, right?

Our blog is slowly beginning to gain traction, and hackers is something which we are becoming increasingly concerned about. Our hosting company have told us that this should not be too much of an issue though, but you can never be too sure.

I think we should take all available security measure to save ourselves on wordpress blogs. Especially if we have a lot of traffic then we can’t survive without these special security measures. I read a lot of snippets on security daily to save myself. I have a lot of blogs and it is not easy to watch them all.

I am concerned and afraid to see a strange name in my domain panel which I didn’t even know. Right now, I have initiated a trouble ticket to my host but I have a lot of domains hosted there and all of them are wordpress blogs. I think someone has broken into my panel and have done some weird stuff but I am unable to locate it. Thanks for your post though but I am very afraid at the moment.

We check our visitors daily, but in line with the comment above, we also hate the thought of having to worry about spammers & hackers.

Great suggestions! Hackers are as annoying as spammers and we all need to protect our sites. We work hard for what we have, it is a shame that we have to worry about these things.

Thanks for the post.

I thought that 2.6.1 was secure – I only read this a few days ago as well – oh well, time to upgrade again.
