Hacked? Who/whom? – btclush
-
Hi. While googling (for something else), I found out that beside “kutukamus.wordpress.com ” (my blog), there is also
kutukamus.btclush.com (mirror site? whose?)
Curious, I tried
wpbtips.btclush.com
1tess.btclush.com
Yep, both exist. The loading time is considerably longer, though—for the btclush version transfers data from wordpress first. Any idea?
Thanks.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there, the good news is you weren’t exactly hacked. WordPress.com has really good security.
What you’re seeing is what’s sometimes called “scraper sites.” These are sites often setup by spammers and other undesirables that just setup some site somewhere and steal the content from another site wholesale.
These sites exist outside of WordPress.com so WordPress has no control over them. Here’s a support article with some tips on how to handle situations like this.

Hi stothek, thanks for the response. What I’m trying to say is:
“They redirect (kind of), every click of the way”
Say, you have: “stothek.wordpress.com”
Now try: “stothek.btclush.com”Since it’s just reading the data from wordpress, the btclush one has all your latest update (posts, comments etc), every click of the way.
And since the data is still on the wordpress’s servers, the way I see it, the real victim is wordpress, more than us users.

Yes, I see what you’re saying now. Basically, it’s just a generic redirect kind of thing, there’s not actually any content on there at all, it’s just showing the original stuff from WordPress.com
The site seems to not be doing anything else, but it seems like a perfect vector for malicious software.
The domain shows it’s registered at Namesilo.com and the abuse address is (email visible only to moderators and staff)

Hi there,
I found this thread this morning and tagged it for Staff intervention. Thanks for looking into this for kutukamus. -
If we upgrade to WP Enterprise service, there is available Frame Buster plugin.
If I type in the browser directly (eg simomot.btclush.com), so will appear the “simomot.btclush.com”. But when people are clicking on any link (post or category) that I put in simomot.com, the page that opens is the original page of simomot; the redirect function of btclush does not work.
It’s different if you do not use the Frame Buster plugin, all the pages of your blog continue to appear in the iframe btclush.com. -

@duto
There are more than one way to evade the btclush redirection (it can be done even without some paying WP version) but I guess that’s not the point here. The idea is:Should we let it be?
(and/or let whoever did it get away with this?)And, if the answer is no, what are we going to do about it?

One reason these sites exist is to circumvent censorship, eg the Great Firewall of China. Something to consider.
Of course, if they have ads on them, rip out their colon and show it to them as they die slowly. Here are instructions:
I have made grown men cry with this completely legal, easy technique.

Just to let you know I’m having the same problem. Everything on my WordPress blog (endlesserring.wordpress.com) is also mirrored on endlesserring.btclush.com. How can I remove the btclush site?
-
Same with me :'( I’m encountering this same situation with my blog (friendiary.wordpress.com) Good thing I found this thread and seems like the staffs are investigating it.
-
my blog has it too but there is one good thing out of this for the bloggers. Exposure. If the words they stole, like mine are not too important to you than it’s a way for more people to see your blog. Granted this is not the way I would prefer and I do hope WordPress takes care of it as they are very much stealing wordpress. Still I’m on the fence about if I care deeply about it.
