My WordPress blog has been hacked; or at least I think its been hacked. What do I do now?

The WordPress Exploit Scanner plugin can help detect damage so that it can be cleaned up. Other things you should do:

  • Change passwords for all blog users, including your own, with a role higher than Subscriber
  • If you upload files to your site via FTP, change your FTP password
