Hacked

My blog was hijacked today. Whoever hacked the site changed the password, and my email address so I couldn’t even reset the password. Fortunately, I was able to get into the database and reset the password.

Sheesh, don’t people have anything better to do with their time?

    Yeah, if you are using Wordpress you may want to make sure that you have the latest release of WP installed (2.2.2 i believe). I installed it right after I got my site back. It is supposed to address some security issues. I don’t know if these issues were related to my hijacking or not.
