Woke up today morning to find that my Wordpress blog was not working. I got the following as part of the error message when loading the site:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ”’ (ASCII=39) state=1 in /home/

Googling the same, I found out that it was caused by either by a worm or virus which steals your Wordpress password and hacks all the index pages on your website.
