Enhancements

posted in Blogging |

OmegaDad sent me an email late yesterday night, which read, in part:

“Your url without the www takes me to… Uh… Ads for certain enhancement products.”

I quick like a bunny pulled up the ol’ bloggerino and did a “view source”.  Sure ’nuff, a boatload of hidden links plus a little script that sent folks from Google off to never-never land.

So I bit the bullet and upgraded WordPress; it seems that older versions were being hacked.

Please, please–let me know if you get siphoned off to “ads for certain enhancement products”!  Just drop me an email at omegamom at omegamom dot com.  And for those who did get hijacked…um…I’m sorry!

Edited to add:  Well!  I thought I had found them all, but much to my dismay, there was another set of hidden links, which I have now removed.  Hopefully all is well, and hopefully that stuff got added before I changed the password…

    Yep, looks clean now.
    So sorry you got hacked. I am fairly aggressive in making sure that WP stays current at my sites. There are too many hacks out there for older versions :-(

    Looks okay to me!

    How does that old saying go? A mechanic’s car always runs the worst? :-)

    I knew that I’d be lazy updating the server software if I had to do it myself so I chose to go with typepad for my blog. It’s not nearly as customizable as WP but I generally don’t have to do much with it.

    Hey! Maybe some of us need some “enhancement” products. Maybe I want bigger breasts or a plumper penis. (Well, not really because if I had big breasts and a plump penis Mr. preTzel might have something to say about that!)

    Hackers suck.
