Just Not My Month
People read this for a lot of different reasons, but no one reads it to hear about my latest tech problem. Alas, EIAOnline.com was hacked over the weekend, but before the conspiracy theorists out there go into overdrive, I was alerted to it by a guy who runs an automobile information site who had the same thing happen to him. It was not particularly malicious, seeking in a roundabout way to direct people to spam sites, but it eventually crashed my site.
Everything seems to be up and working properly now, though I’m spending my time plugging holes and deleting corrupted files. The auto guy says it was a WordPress hack, which somehow screwed with the NEA 2008 election debrief PowerPoint file I posted on my Declassified page, so I’ve deleted it.
This hack doesn’t leave any visual traces on your blog, but you’ll notice some unusual results if you Google your site name. If you use WordPress and you’ve noticed things are not behaving properly lately, it might be worth checking into.
In the meantime, please accept my apologies for the constant interruptions to business. Fortunately, I didn’t plan on doing a communique’ today, so no real harm done. Thanks for your patience.
