I basically went through all the same steps that you did, but it took me about a day rather than a half hour...I did get the propoganda off the site quickly because I looked in my root access logs and saw that the user who had accessed my admin area had been inside my "themes style sheets"...so I automatically deleted the theme from my file manager and ended their little party. But gaining access to the admin dashboard was far trickier and after I was in I found at least three unidentified users on my blog. Maybe word press should provide a function so that administrators have to approve any and all subscribers so odd ones like these never get in. Thanks for the article.

I wonder if the newest versions of Wordpress (2.7) are more secure than the older versions. Fantasio installed 2.6 and I upgraded to 2.7 quickly after the install. Hopefully I am safe.
