I woke up this morning to a t-string error on my site:  http://www.anothercubsblog.net.  Does anybody have any idea what could be wrong and how to fix it?  Thanks in advance.

What’s on line 61 in your template?

This is on line 61:

I checked back a couple months and the only thing on line 61 then was a closing bracket.  What happened?

I reverted it back to the index.php from a couple months ago and all is fine now.  How did that code get added to that file?

It sounds like you may have been hacked.

Thanks for reporting this. We take security very seriously and will do our best to work with you on figuring out what’s going on. To that, we need some additional information from you…

  1. EE version and build (found at the bottom of your control panel)
  2. Other scripts on your account, whether in use or not (phpBB, etc…)*

  * If this is a shared hosting environment, the host can make a determination if the attack came through scripts on another account on the server, which is commonly the case with these types of hacks.

  While we work through this, please check through these files:

  * path.php
  * config.php
  * index.php

  to ensure that there is no unusual code such as iFrames or Javascript includes; if you do find that code, then please back-up the file and remove said code.  If you are unsure of what does or doesn’t belong in these files, do not hesitate to ask.

  You may also wish to refresh your files by following the build update instructions.

  Also please ensure that you report this to your host immediately as they can help identify where the attack originated from so that steps can be taken to prevent this in the future.

Thanks, Sue.  Version and Build:

ExpressionEngine 1.6.8
Build:  20090723

Additional scripts:  Lime Survey, Advanced Poll, Flash Chat, Media Wiki

I’ll update the newewst build sometime today and contact my host.

I’ll report back if needed and thanks a lot for the help.  This is the first time it’s happened in nearly 2 years. 

Thanks again.

Let us know what you find out.
