Gootloader infection cleaned up

Posted by enquinn on 27th February 2022

Dear blog owner and visitors,

This blog had been infected to serve up Gootloader malware to Google search victims, via a common tactic known as SEO (Search Engine Optimization) poisioning. Your blog was serving up 386 malicious pages. Your blogged served up malware to 0 visitors.

I tried my best to clean up the infection, but I would do the following:

  • Upgrade WordPress to the latest version (one way the attackers might have gained access to your server)
  • Upgrade all WordPress themes to the latest versions (another way the attackers might have gained access to your server)
  • Upgrade all WordPress plugins (another way the attackers might have gained access to your server), and remove any unnecessary plugins.
  • Verify all users are valid (in case the attackers left a backup account, to get back in)
  • Change all passwords (for WordPress accounts, FTP, SSH, database, etc.) and keys. This is probably how the attackers got in, as they are known to brute force weak passwords
  • Run antivirus scans on your server
  • Block these IPs (5.8.18.7 and 89.238.176.151), either in your firewall, .htaccess file, or in your /etc/hosts file, as these are the attackers command and control servers, which send malicious commands for your blog to execute
  • Check cronjobs (both server and WordPress), aka scheduled tasks. This is a common method that an attacker will use to get back in. If you are not sure, what this is, Google it
  • Consider wiping the server completly, as you do not know how deep the infection is. If you decide not to, I recommend installing some security plugins for WordPress, to try and scan for any remaining malicious files. Integrity Checker, WordPress Core Integrity Checker, Sucuri Security,
    and Wordfence Security, all do some level of detection, but not 100% guaranteed
  • Go through the process for Google to recrawl your site, to remove the malcious links (to see what malicious pages there were, Go to Google and search site:your_site.com agreement)
  • Check subdomains, to see if they were infected as well
  • Check file permissions

Gootloader (previously Gootkit) malware has been around since 2014, and is used to initally infect a system, and then sell that access off to other attackers, who then usually deploy additional malware, to include ransomware and banking trojans. By cleaning up your blog, it will make a dent in how they infect victims. PLEASE try to keep it up-to-date and secure, so this does not happen again.

Sincerly,

The Internet Janitor

STOP TAKING DRUGS NOW!

Most pain relieving and anti-inflammatory drugs have many unpleasant side effects and can be highly addictive and over time become less effective. Get out of the vicious circle of dependancy on these harsh and un-user-friendly drugs now.

NO DRUGS NO ELECTRONICS NO SUPPLEMENTS

Just four simple techniques you can do yourself, anywhere.

“Chronic pain is an illness in itself, one that can be successfully treated.”
Dr. Angel Escudero, creator of Noesitherapy

“NOESITHERAPY HAS COMPLETELY CURED ME OF MY NEEDLE PHOBIA, AWESOME!” Gerry, Hastings

“I’d tried EFT before but your way of explaining it and your helpful suggestions has made it work for me for the first time, thank you so much.” Helen, Ottery St. Mary

“The Gentle Touch relieved the agony of my hemorrhoids instantly! I have to do it a few times a month but hey, so what, nothing else I’ve ever tried has worked and its not like its a big deal to do :)” Gene, Dallas

“The colic tip worked brilliantly, thanks. He slept through the night for the first time ever!” Simone, Greater Manchester

“Hi Nicola

I am blown away by how the Gentle Touch Technique works! I am a massage therapist and have used it with a few clients incorporating it into the massage. I normally tend to do a lot of deep tissue work (for clients who want/need/like it) to release tightened muscles and at the end of the day, I really feel it.

So not only has it helped me enormously with my own pain, my clients are amazed at how such a light and pain free technique can make such a difference.

It is also less strain on my body. I get the same if not better results with a few minutes of Gentle Touch, say on the shoulder than if I had done the usual deep pressure work which is often accompanied by pain. I can also recommend they do it themselves at home in between appointments. It’s all very exciting.

My mum has had chronic groin pain since she had hip replacement surgery a couple of years ago. I spent about 5 minutes on it and she felt a huge improvement.

Thank you so much Nicola for introducing me to this technique. My mind is racing with ideas of what I can use it for.”

(Stress – what stress?)”

J Deane, UK

“When I was first attuned I experienced tingling palms continuously for three or four days. Now I only have to think or intend Reiki and I experience the same!”

Joanna C, Australia

“Nicola, I had believed that reiki or energy goes where it is needed, now as I experience the energy flowing through blockages, I can say for sure, “I know it” from experience, not just theory. I sense your spirit and kindness guiding me. Thank you very much. I truly love your practical approach of combining EmoTrance with Reiki. Blessings.”
