Hacked

January 30, 2008 By Jay Brooks

If you did a search for the Bulletin lately, using Google or Yahoo, or any of the common search engines, clicking on the results would take you to a Web Pharmaceutical company. A big thanks to Keith Brainard, who first brought this to my attention almost two weeks ago. After determining that someone had hacked into my website and inserted an insidious script, we tried to remove it, but it kept coming back. It turns out that there was some even more pernicious code that kept re-inserting the script every time you removed it. Today we thought we finally solved it and I upgraded my software to — hopefully — make it more secure and make sure this doesn’t happen again but the code instead ended up bringing down the website for the better part of today. Obviously, we’re back up again but missing everything I’ve written since January 25. And I still have to try upgrading the software again. Hopefully, things will be back to normal in a day or two. Thanks for your patience.

    I have to apologize as I was getting a message that you had maxed out your bandwidth and didn’t send you an email.

    But now I can be of help: while the photo may be missing, if you go to RSBS and check under your blog you will find the text of your posts archived there.

    To lend the motto of my clan “HOLD FAST!”

    You will beat this, Jay.

    Alan,

    Thanks for your support. I appreciate it. It certainly was a frustrating, wasted day. I’d like to wring the neck of people who do this. Why can’t we make the companies that spammers and hackers are shilling for responsible for their actions, since they’re done on behalf of the companies, and quite possibly paid for by those companies?
