Yesterday, my site was one of many attacked by a well known hacker (called the Turkish Hacker or Iskorpitx according to the messages left behind). Over a period of about 5 days he apparently hacked over 30,000 sites, mostly by getting into host servers (as happened in my case).<\/p>\n
So my first message today is sorry if you tried to visit my site or send me emails yesterday. Although I did rectify my site reasonably quickly once I knew, my host later took down all their sites and reinstalled their servers so my site was offline.<\/p>\n
I won’t make my second message what I think of people who have nothing better to do with their time than annoy people around the world just because they can.<\/p>\n
Here are my top tips to minimise the hassles of being hacked…<\/p>\n
Do you have any additional tips?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
