But anyway, I was hacked or something, which was placing an iframe at the top of every page on my site.

Luckily I use google syndication which was editing my served pages to visitors and removing the harmful infection, but for now my site is listed as potentially dangerous.

The solution to this was not just to remove the infection, but to upgrade WordPress completely to 2.5. I bet this still has vulnerabilities but I can’t really do much about that right now.

Apologies again, but I assure everyone I fixed it!
