This guy seems to know alot about how it works, but my german is not good enough to translate all for you. Try google translate if you don’t know german.

Hi,

I had the exact same thing, still figuring out how it happened…

As far as I can see the only way it could have happened to me was by installing a “malicious” wordpress theme. Theme’s are pieces of PHP code, so they could easily include some sad guys code trying to steal passwords or something.

Are you sure someone had been loggin on to your ftp server? Please let me know if you find/know something. This is starting to irritate me, alot.

Thanks, Frank.

Am currently pursuing this with the provider to find out how the effing hell they could have got my passwords etc from the secure links….

Read-only files can be altered easily if they have root access to server, but from what it looks like I would say your blog software may have a flaw which allows full access to the file system, thus allowing changes to change read-only and what not.
Very likely a bot
