*Puts handgun to temple and pulls the trigger*

P.S. Have been ruminating over the following two posts for a while and I’ve had an epiphany. Yeah, slowpoke.jpg but still…

Coming to you soon via every nook and cranny!

While hosting your blog on your own domain is nice in terms of the latitude to customize, it’s a bit of a pain when it comes to ensuring security. Especially when problems come in all shapes and sizes. The destruction of Heart’s Content was one of the more dramatic negative demonstrations of this issue.

More recently, super rats reported that Happy Soda had been bot-hacked. A few weeks ago, my anti-virus program stopped me from visiting Mega Megane Moé because the header.php was infected with Trojan-Downloader.JS.Iframe.atl – having some experience with a similar problem because a certain someone rolled back his WP install because he didn’t like the way his theme looked after I had performed the (pre 2.7) upgrade, I gave a shout out to CCY via MAL and the problem was sorted out pretty easily.

The standard advice includes:

  • Keep your WP installation up-to-date
  • Download themes and plugins only via WP.org as far as possible
  • Back-up, back-up, back-up

But it is to my great consternation that, despite the above, the Holy Empire of Hontounia is being plagued by some kind of pharmacy hack injection attack that has installed a sub-directory under the root twice over the past three days. Which advertises anime porn.

While I love my hentai stuff, I don’t really appreciate having a neon billboard attached to the front of my house without my permission and without me getting a cut. Not being able to close this loophole has been rather vexing, partly because, according to a certain personality test, I’m the type that go nuts about these kinds of things. But also because I’m not able to blame Stripey this time.

Feedback and advice would be greatly appreciated.
