Hacked!

Posted by Dad on Nov 10, 2008 in The Blog | 0 comments

I just learned that my site was hacked.  Somehow, someone either got my ftp username and password or did a brute force attack and added spam text to my index.php file.  For some reason, I didn’t have the right permissions set on it. 

If you use WordPress, check your file to see if you have a bunch of spam at the end of the file.  It was messing up my feed.

It’s a shame we live in a world where people feel it’s OK to do things like this.  This is a great example, my fellow dads, of why it is so important for us to raise our kids well. They need to have a conscience and understand right from wrong.

All the best (yes, even to you my hacker friend)
