Lately I have noticed many bloggers complaining about having wordpress blogs hacked. Have you ever seen google message “This website may harm your computer” My friends and My blog www.hawaiib.com end up flaged on google because recently friend of mine changed wordpress theme that wanted to test first.

He thought that theme has better layout and it’s easy to re-code it. That same theme had part of encrypted code that allowed sites like wpsphere.com to approve comments, advertise without your knowledge and god knows what more!

I am here to tell you so you can tell others to keep away from wpsphere.com and also websites that provide “Wordpress Premium themes” , “Free Wordpress Themes” but don’t have link to “original source”

People usually charge for premium themes but some wordpress theme galleries that offer wordpress themes for free, coded evil plugins that you might not notice and might harm your visitors computers or display pop ups!

Theme my friend download was StudioPress originally created by DailyBlogTips he download it from some website that he don’t even know where he found it, but sure when I read 5thirtyone blog few days ago, site wpsphere look similar to my friend described to me, but URL was different!

What you need to remember from this post….

1. NEVER EVER DOWNLOAD WORDPRESS THEMES THAT ARE FROM 3RD PARTY BLOGS, WEBSITES (allways download themes from original source of wordpress theme)

2.WHEN DOWNLOADING THEME MAKE SURE IT’S LATEST VERSION

3. READ CHANGES, README, INSTALLATION files

4. WHEN YOU INSTALL THEME MAKE SURE ITS NOT LINKING TO SITES LIKE Casino, Pharmacy etc urls in “footer” or your Admin Theme/Presentation dashboard.

You don’t want this happen to you! (Click on image to view)

I reconsidered this blog to google and I also called few of my friends from google to remove that statement because I changed theme to what it was before. You can still access website without any problems but if you go through google you will end with message:

Warning - visiting this web site may harm your computer!

In conclusion

Check your themes for stuff like “c3Q9Ii4gdXJsZW5jb2RlKCRfU0VSVkVSWydIVFRQX0″ because why would somebody encrypt text and why would you install wordpress theme that half of the coding looks encrypted anyways.

If you are using Adsense Ready themes, make sure your shows your google_ad_client = “pub-yourpubadsenseidnumber“; otherwise you will not make a dime from google adsense.

Please be so kind and spread the word to other bloggers. Blog about it, link to this post, stumble this post, do what ever it takes that you and your friends know about this.

This makes “US” bloggers look bad, just because some idiots that use their brain for nothing else then harm other people.
