Attackers (me included  ) are exploiting a widely used extension for the WordPress publishing platform to take control of vulnerable websites.quickly rush to the cpanel of your wordpress hosting and search for the following file- timthumb.php timthumbs.php And upgrade it to the latest version of the file (its attached below, just change the extension to php) hundreds of thousands of wordpress installations are vulnerable!!! All woo themes have it. the faulty file is used by wordpress to resize images etc STAY SAFE PS: mods unban my other account emeka.d. was banned while trying to post this
