Site hit by worm - visitors may have been affected
On or about Apr 3 2008, this blog was hit with one of the many Wordpress worms floating around. It posted thousands of “invisible” SPAM links for “free money”, “free mortgage” and gambling web sites. It *may* also have tried an attack against your browser.
It also created 300 dummy accounts that I had to delete by hand. Yuck.
If you visited this site between Apr 3 2008 and today 26 April 2008, AND you were redirected to a funny looking Google page, you might have given your Google password to a SPAMMER (see “phishing”). If you didn’t see a weird Google page, or you saw it and didn’t type your password, you’re fine. Relax.
Everything is fixed here, now.
Now for the RANT:
(&$%(*&$ spammers! Die! Die!
