WordPress – Page 8 – 37'.news ¯\_(ツ)

This site went semi-offline earlier today thanks to a bad installation of WordPress.org nightly build. At first it seemed the WordPress install was having trouble connecting to the MySQL database. I really thought I had to restore the MySQL database from the backup.

I have decided to keep 37prime.news on the official release instead of living on the edge. Lesson learned.

Victim of MySQL Injection.

In the morning of February 10th, 2012 I received a frantic phone call from a client; their site was compromised. So I spent good portions of Friday and Saturday cleaning up a site that was hacked through MySQL injection. I found out that the hack came through an old installation of WordPress 2.1.4.

So far, so good. I’ll be watching the site for any suspicious activities.

WordPress plugin: Stop Censorship Ribbon plugin.

Web Censorship Protest Day is in the past, but we have to keep the message alive. Install and enable the plugin to add “STOP CENSORSHIP” ribbon on the top right corner of your WordPress.org site. It links to http://americancensorship.org/.
