Had a little security breach here on this site. No personal information of mine or any regular visitors was stolen and all is well now. Essentially, some bot connected to my FTP server, downloaded some php files, injected malicious javascript into them and then reuploaded them. I noticed the breach after some strange behavior on certain pages. My hosting company investigated, the files were cleaned and extra security has been put into place to prevent this from happening again.
This shouldn’t have affected anyone negatively if you visited this site using a modern browser (Google Chrome wouldn’t even load my site and flagged it as suspicious). If you used Firefox, it was making requests from attacker domains.
Anywho….
…Aaaaaand We’re Back
