After a week of not being able to get into my blog, I’m finally back in! Tom and I share a hosting account, and there were some older unused test blogs in there, and since they hadn’t been updated with the latest versions of things, hackers got in through those and then into my blog. Boys and girls, always update your stuff. If that doesn’t make much sense, that’s because I don’t really know what I’m talking about.
But, ultimately, I can now post again and am not facing the prospect of having to start over, which was really a big bummer. I lost just a couple of comments from my last post, but have come away pretty much unscathed.
Since I can’t be mad at the specific people who did it, I’m going to blame Joffrey Barantheon. It’s totally something he would do. Screw you, Joffrey! Your Game of Thrones didn’t work this time you jive turkey!
Anyway, it’s nice to be back and I’ll be back to “normal” with a new helping of Super Friends shenanigans on Saturday.
welcome back….i miss the superfriends…and you of course
Thank you. You were the first to notice a problem, too!
Woah nelly I didn’t know you were being all compromised and shit. Welcome back. I wonder if hackers could conceivably take blogs for ransom in the future.
I’m sure that’s the future of hacking. But nobody’s gonna get my $3.73!
Welcome back! At least you could Tweet about it, as if you lost the right to complain about things like effing hackers, I feel like the world would explode.
Also, I’m so tech stupid that I don’t self-host, so I guess I’m semi-safe from hackers. However, if they ever penetrate the frugal forcefield, I’m calling on your super friends.
Yeah, that’s kind of the upside to not hosting your own site.
Unfortunately, I don’t think a bucket of water and a pelican can do much to help fix websites.
As web designer with over 1000 clients over 15 years, I’ve spent at least the equivalent of one full year fixing stuff hackers ruined for no reason other than amusing themselves or trying to make a few pennies tricking people into clicking on via*gra clicks. When we really go after them, YEP! ALWAYS turns out to be Joffrey! (though his mother is usually pulling the strings…)
Yeah, but Joffrey’s mom usually has a plan and does what she does for a purpose. Cersie would send us to a Viagra site because Jaime’s starting up a Viagra business.
ugh. . . I HATE that little fucker. He ruins EVERYTHING!
He does, doesn’t he?
I’m pretty sure it was also Joffrey who broke my garbage disposal last week.
Probably threw some rocks in there.
Sad that you were hacked. Glad that you are back!! That little fucker. Want me to shank him? You know I will. I’m just looking for an excuse! 🙂
I’d sic my dog’s on him but then he’d try and have them killed and their wimps, anyway.
The phrase “jive turkey” is now stuck in my head, along with the song “Jive Talkin'”. Damn it!
So I kind of hacked your brain. Sorry!
Whew! Glad to hear everything is back in order!
Thanks!
