tape my thumbs to my hands to see what it would be like to be a dinosaur. Don’t you?

Today, my blog was hacked. I won’t say who it was because mostly it doesn’t really bother me. They used an exploit in Wordpress where you can create a URL to send a reset password request to an email for the first user in the database. And so the admin password was changed and they defaced the homepage (index.php). No big deal. The guy who defaced the site also defaced roughly 400 other Wordpress blogs. It wasn’t anything personal. I’m sure he just had a robot checked versions of Wordpress on sites and then working his magic (If thats what you want to call it). Anyways, hopefully the site is in the clear. Guess that’ll teach me to always keep Wordpress updated.

Side note: Wordpress was 2.8.4 on this site and another site I’ve been working on so makes me wonder if it’s a new exploit based off the old or if the old was every fully fixed…
