Veraperez.com got PWN3D

Compromised blog post costs me three days of traffic


Yup, it happened.


It doesn't matter how hard you work at it to keep a site up and running with proper software, somebody always finds a way to go around and exploit it. In my case, somebody, somehow, managed to inject one blog posting with an iframe that points to a known malware distribution site.


Assholes.


The sad thing is that the site was compromised just four days before Wordpress 2.6 came out, not that I know for sure if this new version has fixed that problem.


And people still ask me why I am blogging from Blogspot instead of hosting my own Wordpress. When was the last time that Blogspot was compromised?
