Sometimes I hate people

Posted by Liz Thursday Nov 20, 2008

You might have noticed our site was hacked.  They got in through our photo gallery.  It’s a WordPress plugin that I have really enjoyed, NexGen Gallery.  I am still figuring out how to make it more secure in the future but still get it to run. Things were looking fine yesterday, and today it’s just exploded.   I’ve gotten a billion messages from my web hostinging service.  I guess it’s good to know they care.

Some folks are pretty on top of things, I’ve gotten several e-mails and comments as well.  I’m only moderately technically savvy – enough to keep things barely running normally.  Looks like some wachovia thing.  No wonder those guys got bought up.

Why, why, why would someone attack our poor innocent little house blog?  Sometimes people suck.
