We've kept very close watch on .htaccess files. They have seemed clean throughout. My belief is that an evil doer has root access to the Virtual Private Server and once a week he plays games. One week this JS thing in the database, the week before an eval(base64_decode... I didn't know this site has been hit a lot. The site owner is insistent on using bandaids. I've convinced the business owner to go elsewhere and start fresh with all new passwords and better security.zipzit– zipzit2015-02-02 17:34:09 +00:00Commented Feb 2, 2015 at 17:34

It sounds like you're dealing with an adversary that has the experience to ensure they have one or more backdoors in place everytime they inject malicious code. Or a hosting provider that is running vulnerable software. I would start with a fresh install, clean database or at least a manual review of any data you import and ideally not on a shared server that is up to date on its patch levels. Analysing your log files and comparing them to file modification/creation dates may hold some clues as to how the attackers are accessing their tools and how you can stop it.wireghoul– wireghoul2015-02-02 21:19:54 +00:00Commented Feb 2, 2015 at 21:19

WireGhoul, right you are. Virgin code everywhere. Total rebuild required from the ground up. (Why didn't they think of that last year when they were first hit? I was most unhappy when the guy told me, "oh, yeah, we saw that last month." Ugh. ) I think we're going to do a manual review of the XML code from wordpress export, instead of using the DB. I'm not certain I can automate the search for all the errant code. Too many variants.zipzit– zipzit2015-02-02 21:33:02 +00:00Commented Feb 2, 2015 at 21:33

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. web-application), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
