Scorecard Research Survey (NSFW) - Ed. Wordpress hacked?

I don't believe your computer is infected with anything, and this is why...

This is very clearly at the very bottom of your page code:


--- ---<script type="text/javascript" src="http://b.scorecardresearch.com/beacon.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">try{COMSCORE.beacon({c1:2,c2:7518284});}catch(e){}</script><noscript><p class="robots-nocontent"><img src="http://b.scorecardresearch.com/p?cj=1c1=2&c2=7518284" alt="" style="display:none" width="1" height="1" /></p></noscript><script src="http://s.stats.wordpress.com/w.js?19" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
st_go({'blog':'17744093','v':'wpcom','user_id':'0','post':'0','subd':'drinkthekewlaid'});
ex_go({'crypt':'RDZ8LFkxbXFNLFlqbmNuOUklLytJVjAuaD9Xa1RJL2tfLixtbVZqSlprY3Byem0yVVBQJWtna1ZTZ1ZdalMuTFQmNjJ1ckYrbVVKcE1zVklXS0VobDg2cXQtR0Q4L3JiOXBXLFA4MzFxXWdkQVRYd3xWYVJQVWpwZFdTSyslJjlsai01L25PaW40ZG5kRGx5cm50NVI9THE5b0NoSmFmWz9UfkZFaVVZUiU2QmUsNzUxc20yYkVXQm1oV0JCXUN+Q1lJQXpBMU9IKzFr'});
addLoadEvent(function(){linktracker_init('17744093',0);});
</script>

Wordpress does not allow users to insert javascript code into pages. The only javascript that should be in your page code should be either code that is part of Wordpress itself or code from widgets that they approve and make available to users.

In other words, unless this is some feature you selected from some menu, preapproved by Wordpress, then Wordpress had to have added it without you knowing, or Wordpress itself got hacked (not just your site) and someone has inserted it into their wordpress code that is being used on all sites they host.

Very interesting. Thanks for that. I'll report it to them.

EDIT: Reported to Wordpress.

Just took a quick look at a number of different blogs hosted at wordpress.com. They all have this code at the bottom of every page, including this rather famous blog.

That simply stinks of WP being hacked. I can't see them being dirty as they have a good name.

That's my thoughts, as well. I have contacted Lorelle, since her site is affected and if anyone can make WP take this issue seriously and investigate it, I know she can, pretty quickly.
