this sucks.... and I don't mean to be belittling or accidently insulting....
One practice is to remove all code in the HTML header that indicates which version of wordpress you're using. Some script kiddie code just spiders google search results for "blog" and then checks the source code for WP version tags, if that page is a vurnable version, then the injection code automatically attacks your site, so yes, it's semi-random, not a direct attack on a particular site.
I have no idea if this is actually what happened, but it did happen to a friends site once... we tweeked his HTML in the wordpress templates and it didn't happen again, after a re-install....
