Glorious Noise Boards

Thanks for your work in getting it up and running again.

Everything should be back to pretty much normal by Monday morning. Fucking script kiddies. Seriously. Why?

On the plus side, I learned some important stuff about security, ha ha. Shared servers + default Movable Type settings = big hole. Would've been a lot easier to deal with if my hosting company could've given me a backup from Friday. Oh well. Live and learn.

When I logged on saturday morning my computer detected and treat viruses on two seperate occasions. This only happened when I logged on to GloNo. What the dilleeyo with that and should I be concerned?

Sven, as long as your virus catcher caught it, you should be fine. Of course, you'll want to update your virus definitions and run a complete system scan, but you should be doing that regularly already, right?

But yeah, this was a nasty fucking hack. And I caught it pretty quickly, but about a half hour after I spent two hours cleaning everything up, we got hit again by the same fucking thing and I had to do it all over again. I eventually learned where the hole was that was allowing this hack and closed it up. But fuck. What a mess!

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. And hopefully, nothing bad happened to anybody's computers because of this.

Mine will only display porn sites now. Is that bad?

Uhm... how do I make the hack work on my computer?
