Another wordpress blog hosted on godaddy that got hacked. Luckily, I caught it when it started redirecting and was able to restore the hosting account to a week prior. Coincidently I was moving my hosting over to media temple that weekend and fortunately didn't move the virus over.
After the headache that godaddya vulnerability caused, they sent me the exact same bullshit about updating wordpress. I have and always have updated wordpress and plugins within days of a new release.
Godaddy is for registering domains only, I learned that the hard way last weekend...
Also, I was in contact with a couple of people making money off of the base64 vulnerability: they have packages specifically for cleaning and securing the install. What's funny is that they have no way of securing it, just temporarily cleaning it until it gets hacked again. The article has some advice and you check out their services:
