Once again, for the second time in three months, my site has been hacked. This time it wasn’t server-wide, and didn’t have anything to do with my webhost. I made a minor mistake (apparently with major consequences) when I setup this site, and that allowed some ruthless scoundrel to do insalubrious things. You know, like forward the site to a non-English hacker’s forum. Fun stuff.

I think my site was only affected for a day or two, because I’ve been working on it more often recently, and thus noticed it soon after it happened. The databases weren’t corrupted, so I didn’t lose any content, which is excellent. All I had to do was upload a backup file from the last time I made some major user interface changes, and then fix the issues that allowed for the attack in the first place. Not a bad recovery process, really…but boy was I miffed!
