    Blackhat SEO - mass spam Infection ...

    September 21, 2011 - "... blackhat SEO attack that was infecting many WordPress sites with spam... the attack consists of contacting the domain wplinksforwork .com to get a list of links to be displayed on the compromised sites... sites compromised (if they have display errors enabled), have this message in their footer... we checked on Google to see how many they have found lately with this error and it is an astonishing number of almost 50k pages... At the time of our first analysis, most of the hacked sites had outdated versions of WordPress installed. Some of them were not, but we assume they upgraded after the fact, and never cleaned up the spam from their themes (yes, it hides in themes and in the database). So, if you keep WordPress updated, you’re likely safe. In any case, you can check via our free scanner to verify:
