I got hit as well. 5 of my WP sites (which are all using Sucuri) got hit with this 'amin' attack. I must have caught the attack before anything malicious was done as none of my files were modified (thus not tripping the Securi alarm). I found multiple rows in the DB with base64 garbage in them and lots of unknown users in the users table. I also found some malicious PHP files within the plugins folder.

And yes….ALL of my affected websites were hosted on Rackspace Cloud.

Cloud Sites (which is their shared hosting) got hit too. My recent post I’m totally signing up for Final Fantasy XIV beta

I’m assuming it was RS’s shared hosting, correct?
