Wordpress and Joomla theme exploits

I just read about this on 5ThrityOne.

Apparently several sites are out there distributing themes for wordpress and joomla with hidden links and other malicious code installed.  This is a huge heads up for the wordpress and joomla community to make sure you review the themes before you install them.  Additionally make sure you look for other dirty tricks - like links being displayed with the CSS command of display:none.  I’ve seen that a lot as well.

The last few themes I have reviewed were totally clean - so I’m not all that worried about this site.  But its definitely something to keep in mind for future blog updates.
