<li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="*techbuddy.in/about/" title="&lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;refresh&quot; content=&quot;0;URL=*ozk4n.6te.net/&quot;&gt;"><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=*ozk4n.6te.net/"></a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-84"><a href="*techbuddy.in/photos/">photos</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-98"><a href="*techbuddy.in/contact-me/">Contact Me</a></li>
I dont understand from where this is coming!! I need help of you guys to solve the problem.

I fixed main issue yesterday. From phpadmin I reset my admin password and then change the about page title which has meta tage in to it which redirected the page to hackers site.
^^ I dont know about this redirection on photo click!!
Man.. anybody knows how hacker got admin acess to the dashboard? wordpress sucks on security for not so advance user like me

Hmm why you still running Apache 2.2.11, Grab this one - Apache 2.2.14

I can still see lots of loops. Better lock up your wordpress & Apache.

update your .htaccess file
update your WP if available
update your theme or reupload it.
