Wordpress and Joomla theme exploits

I just read about this on 5ThrityOne.
Apparently several sites are out there distributing themes for wordpress and joomla with hidden links and other malicious code installed. This is a huge heads up for the wordpress and joomla community to make sure you review the themes before you install them. Additionally make sure you look for other dirty tricks - like links being displayed with the CSS command of display:none. I’ve seen that a lot as well.
The last few themes I have reviewed were totally clean - so I’m not all that worried about this site. But its definitely something to keep in mind for future blog updates.

I didn’t know that they had hidden links installed in some themes. Thanks for letting us know, I will definitely look into this on my sites.
Thanks for the advice, it pays to be aware.
BTW, speaking of themes, the white text on yellow background doesn’t really work when leaving a reply!
