That’s a lesson God is trying to teach me from last few months. Being lazy, I show the laziness in updating my scripts too , even if it just involves 2-3 clicks in cPanel. Well, Someone had tried to modify some areas in sreejith.net’s wordpress database, though now I have sorted out the two small modifications he had made. I was on Wordpress 2.0 when the DB was attacked.

The guy had changed the title of this blog and changed a category name to a script URL which was a bit of problem as it used to redirect to a HTML page on his site whenever I reach the WP admin category page, I had to go into phpMyAdmin inorder to replace it with the default category name. It looks fine now .

A similar thing happened to me few months earlier when the vBulletin 3.5.2 at indianwebdevs got into the same situation of file modification, someone had changed the index.php to show a “hacked by ..” message. The nice guys at vB support quickly recovered it and the forum was working fine.

So all you readers, Keep your scripts updated and DB’s backed up
and you hackers .. Bring it on !
