SITE HAS BEEN HACKED WITH YouTube VIDEOS
-
My site, http://supsrv.com, is hosted by WordPress. We noticed yesterday that our site has been hacked. YouTube video code I DID NOT PUT on the site is appearing on every post, sometimes more than once. This code keeps appearing on my site. PLEASE HELP ME TO REMOVE THIS AND BLOCK FUTURE HACKING!

The YouTube video keeps changing. I have no idea how to check my .htaccess file since http://supsrv.com is hosted by WordPress.Com. The video appears on my site regardless of which browser you’re using. I’ve confirmed the video appearing on Safari, Firefox, IE, and Chrome.

That’s not a hack, just some of our ads.
To support the service (and keep free features free), we sometimes run advertisements, and the agreement for this has been in our terms of service since 2006.
We try hard to only run them in limited places. If you would like to completely eliminate ads from appearing on your blog, we offer the No-Ads Upgrade: http://en.support.wordpress.com/no-ads/

While I understand the need for advertising, why embed a large video image of a little girl in the middle of a two paragraph blog? One of my posts had the same large video image inserted 4 times. I wouldn’t mind a small video image on the sidebar or a click-able sentence in the middle of the blog (like many news sites do), but having these large YouTube video images make the blog appear unsafe to browse. Especially because the video content is completely unrelated to the blog content.

We only insert them at the very end of the post, so what you’re describing seems rather odd.
Would you please take a screenshot and upload it via Media -> Add New in your blog’s Dashboard so I can take a look at what you’re seeing?

My mistake – the screenshots I saw of the videos showed one advertising video per post. I thought I was looking at the same post broken up 4 times.
