Finally, something to write about :-(
I’ve been so submerged in my work of late that I haven’t had time to do much of anything else. Since updates have been few and far between for the past couple of months, I doubt anybody even noticed that the blog has been down for a few days.
Some cretin decided to hack my server using a publicized Wordpress exploit. Even though they succeeded in messing things up a bit the damage wasn’t too severe. Plus, it was probably time to upgrade Wordpress and renew my commitment to paranoid security policies anyway…
If you’re curious, you can read about the exploit the attackers used here and here.
