yep! got most of it done, until the site is live and traffic rolls in (right now I access it through HOSTS file) you never know if you found everything.
there were plenty of the usual base64 script crap disguised as .ico, luckily they all used the same unusual name pattern so I could easily find them all by running a search for .*.ico:

deleted everything else except for the uploads and replaced it with newly downloaded plugins. I'm sure there's still some crap left in the uploads, but those are hundreds of folders with thousands of images, so I rather let it go live and then check the logs for POST requests....basically I let potential attackers do my work... :lol:

Good job *thumb*
Do you know how it happened? Probably some wordpress plugin that had a backdoor or was unpatched?

hard to say what exactly caused it, the site ran that way for a long time already.....but yeah this might have played a role:
