I thought I’d do a little maintenance on the site real quick and found out I’d been hacked. Thankfully while it was a little aggravating, whomever got control, redirected the site to a place that explained the hack they used. They got in through my tikiwiki page which had an exploit that could be done through the tiki graph which did not properly sanitize user input. Shame on them.
Anyway… I’d link to the site that Theory From the Closet was being redirected to… but it’s running Javascript and I don’t trust the site enough to send you folks there. Especially since I imagine most of you aren’t using Noscript for Firefox, or SandboxIE on Windows like you should be, or running in a virtual machine like I should be. If you aren’t you should take a look, it’s a minor inconvenience for a great gain in security.
So thanks Mr. or Mrs. Hacker for not being malicious. Now I’m off to change all my long passwords just in case someone had better access than I thought and is running some Rainbow Tables. They should be salted since it’s Linux, but you can never be too safe. Not that anyone would bother.
What sucks is now I have to think about what I’m going to do wiki-wise, as the wiki was where I would plan out my shows. It’s not like anyone but my friend Tim was using it to give me suggestions, but I still like the idea of planning the shows openly.
