This pisses me off to no end. Being a recent victim of a hacker myself, I can totally sympathize to as to what happened to Matthew Good. In fact, there’s a little bit of my help that I gave him that was a victim of an attacker to his site as well. Good needed some help getting PodPress to work on his site, so I was more than happy to help him out. None of that seems to matter a whole hell of a lot now.
I’m not sure what the complete story is, but the hack seemed to go deeper than just getting into WordPress and making a stupid post, like what happened to me. According to a post by his friend Sonny, another person who has helped him on numerous aspects of his site, files were compromised and are missing. I really liked the recent design to his site, but all of that is lost.
I’ve always been one to proceed with restraint, but right now, lynch mob is the phrase that immediately comes to mind.
it is ridiculous mine has gone down twice now from people trying to break in. it stays down completely till my host company gets it back up on line. im not savvy enough to do any of that myself.
sucks for you BOTH! 🙁
