hacked and hacked off

Someone nailed me hard yesterday. They planted a WMF. Luckily I caught it fast and my host got on it fast. They think that a script I had installed was vulnerable. Not knowing which one I took the shotgun approach and deleted them all and my wordpress blogs which I haven't been keeping up with anyway. I also had FP extensions which in hindsight was a pretty dumbass thing. I'm just praying now that I won't get blacklisted by anyone...

You can have the most secure webhost in the world but you stick a vulnerable script up there and you're in trouble. Sorry to hear about the hack.

Either way I'm sure you'll be glad to get away from Front Page Extensions.
