  so just to be clear… the virus is only associated with SELF-HOSTED blogs on wordpress.org, and not blogs hosted on wordpress.com??

  You are posting to the wrong forum. This forum is ONLY for those who have blogs being free hosted by wordpress.COM. Please post where the support bot points to http://wordpress.ORG/support/

  Definitely talk with .ORG support. If the blog had not had the wordpress software updated in a while, then it may have been on a version of the software that was susceptible to malware/database injections. This is one of the reasons that everyone with a self-hosted blog should keep up with the wordpress updates.
