Friday the 13th, a bad-luck message JS/redir.BS for a wordpress website

JS/redir.BS is a malaware that silently is stored in your website and will cause something ugly to happen: lose access to it. There is no simple way to know when it got there, but several places can give you a clue on how to get rid of it. Important advice: take care of your website security, create backups and change passwords every now and then! Wordpress is a strong tool, but not invensible. As I know how to control my computer and get rid of malaware, I decided to create a simluation in my computer, that was risky, but the fastest way to do it instead of waiting for the hosting company to help me. I did a clean installation of Wordpress last version, the one I use in my website. As I was suspicious of the theme, that was the first thing I copied from the server to my laptop. When I tried to move the theme folder to my local Wordpress installation, there it was. My Antivirus poped-up and blocked the virus, luckily it was just in the header file.

Yo iba pegada a mi smartphone . Y no tenía nada que ver con que el hecho de que soy informática. No. Yo iba conectada. Que si el watsapp, que si el face, que si tal que si pascual...me perdía de imágenes impresionantes. Pero no sólo eso, mi paseo romántico se reducía a contar a mis redes sociales lo que hacía: estoy en un super lugar! o he batido el record de la partida de la granja nosequé.

Sin mencionar, los mensajes filosóficos. Mi herma
