Hundreds of blogs hacked (Update)

I'm not sure if you recall my thread about a bunch of my WP blogs being hacked a while back. Some people gave some great advice and I can't recall who it was, but they said it was probably something residing in my computer. Whomever said that was correct. I was saving my user/pass as plain text from Filezilla and that's what they were getting their hands on. My websites were never hacked, they just got my FTP info and fucked me up.

If you use any FTP apps, DON'T save your passwords. As much of a pain as it is, manually input it every time. The couple seconds you save by having them in your site manager will only fuck you when you're fixing hundreds of websites.

Thanks for the great info, folks. Most of you guys rock.
