Blogger Blogs Redirecting To "hijriah.jentayu.com/hijriah.php"

In a new volume of the series "Tales Of The Hijacked Blogger Blogs", today we have multiple reports of blogs redirecting to "hijriah.jentayu.com/hijriah.php".

This tale is somewhat less exciting than the previous episodes in this long saga, however. The problem code, which is causing the hijacks, typically appears in various HTML gadgets, and is not difficult to find. The code appears to consist of simple HTML gadgets, intentionally installed by the blog owners.

You'll probably not find this hack by editing the template HTML code - it will be an HTML gadget, located in your sidebar or maybe the blog footer / attribution section.

If you use a text only proxy, like the Rex Swain HTTP Viewer or the Web-Sniffer View HTTP, you can retrieve the blog in safety. Then, do a simple text search on "hijriah.jentayu.com". You'll find something like

</div><div class='widget HTML' id='HTML7'>
<h2 class='title'>.:: Today ::.</h2>
<div class='widget-content'>
<script src="http://hijriah.jentayu.com/hijriah.php"> </script>
</div>

See the Title of the gadget above? If you title your gadgets, it's easy enough to find.
<h2 class='title'>.:: Today ::.</h2>

Having identified the offending code, use "Page Elements" and delete the HTML gadget. And be more selective, when choosing third party code.

Say, Chuck. Would Revert Widget Templates to Default remove the code after the widget itself is removed? Just a thought, as many who get this are, like me, not code literate and have difficulty finding the offending code.

Kats,

No, I do not think that "reverting widget templates" will remove an entire HTML gadget.

We are going to have to help by identifying the gadgets for them, when they tell us the blog names. And they will have to use "Page Elements" and delete the gadgets.

Thank you. Why suddenly it appear like that as I been using it for a while? So from now on how do we know the widgets which are harmless to the website/blog and which is not?
Mohamad said…
I have deleted the widget initially it was ok but then the same problem recurr what should I do.. HELP!
Nitecruzr said…
Mohamed,

Until we figure out what is going on here, you're better off just deleting the gadget, and leaving it deleted.

Thank U Chuck, I realized by puttting a post on the scripts will also redirect my blog to jentayu. Crazy!

Embedded Comments And Main Page View

The option to display comments, embedded below the post, was made a blog option relatively recently. This was a long requested feature - and many bloggers added it to their blogs, as soon as the option was presented to us. Some blog owners like this feature so much, that they request it to be visible when the blog is opened, in main page view. I would like all comments, and the comment form, to be shown underneath the relevant post, automatically, for everyone to read without clicking on the number of comments link. And this is not how embedded comments work.

What's The URL Of My Blog?

We see the plea for help, periodically I need the URL of my blog, so I can give it to my friends. Help! Who's buried in Grant's Tomb, after all? No Chuck, be polite. OK, OK. The title of this blog is "The Real Blogger Status", and the title of this post is "What's The URL Of My Blog?".

With Following, Anonymous Followers Can't Be Blocked

As people become used to Blogger Following as just another tool to connect people, they start to think about the implications . And we see questions like How do I block someone who's been following my blog secretly? I couldn't see her in my Followers list (hence I couldn't use the "Block this user" link), but I have looked at her profile and could see that she's Following my blog. Following, when you look at the bottom line, is no more than a feed subscription and an icon (possibly) displayed on your blog, and linking back to the profile of the Follower in question. If someone Follows your blog anonymously, all that they get is a subscription to the blog feed. If you publish a feed from your blog, and if the feed is open to anybody (which, right now, is the case ), then it's open to everybody. If someone wants to use Following to subscribe to the feed, you can't stop this. You can't block it before, or after, the fact. You can't Block w
