One of my WP sites got hacked by this viagra hack a while ago.

The database and the akismet plugins were modified and I was able to fix it, but nowhere I was able to find how I got hacked in the first place.

This article explains very well how to fix it, but not how are these sites getting hacked. Anyone? Anyone?

It is wellknown that Word-press is full of security holes, so it is properly one of them. How exactly isn't important - it will be a new method next week, so don't waste time on this weeks issue.

Instead, just get a better blogengine.
