There’s a hacking alert going around the blogging community hosted by Wordpress.I would like to share what I have written on my other blog www.marikenya.com on this particular issues since all of my self-hosted blogs run under Wordpress.
“A friend of mine who also provides web hosting services for Breathtechnology.com and my other blogs just warned me about hackers who took over some of his blogs just yesterday. He was furious and I understand him with all my heart. I was panicky myself. I can’t imagine my blogs being hacked.
This event made me realize the need for backing up my files as well as doing some measures that would somehow protect my site from being hacked.
This early, I would like to apologize to all of you who would like to subscribe to this site using the new user registration provided by Wordpress. If you wanted to subscribe to this blog’s feeds, please use the feedburner delivery service that may be found at the end of every post, there’s also another one at the top of the left sidebar of every page.
Wordpress is disappointing. I have been using it for more than a year now and I really liked it except that it has created a new version with an unforgivable flaw — a vulnerability that is a dream for hackers!
So many has been affected by this hacking problems. As I am writing this, I am already backing up my files. I hope no more hacking incidents would follow and let us pray that these malicious individuals would get what they deserve in the end to serve their lessons.
For those who wanted to know more about these hacking problems and how to further protect yourselves from it, please read the detailed article made by Donncha O Caoimh, an Irish WordPress developer.
In the meantime, I’ll be busy backing up.”
