"Fuck me once, shame on you. Fuck me twice, shame on me."
- Cedric Daniels, The Wire.
Veraperez.com got hit with a Google black list again (thanks to Brian for catching this). And for the same bullshit as the last time. Parties unknown inserted an IFRAME with links to malicious code. Google automatically checks for these to protect their users. Anyone seeing Veraperez.com as Google search results is warned that the site links to malware. Anyone using Firefox and attempting to visit the site get a big red nasty sign explaining that the site is potentially dangerous.
On one hand, I can't complain about Google fixing my fuck ups, it beats the hell out of having to explain to my visitors why I let THEIR computers get fucked up by MY website.
On the other hand I am god damn furious that this is the second time in a month that this happens to me with a properly installed Wordpress. Am I the only one?
This time I went as far as to assume that maybe the account password was compromised, so I ended up changing my passwords in a bunch of sites (good luck using a dictionary attack now, assholes). Still, the damage is done, I will lose at least two days of traffic to this bullshit.
If three weeks ago I was concerned about Wordpress, right now I am downright fucking scared of it. I don't think I can justify offering Wordpress to any of my customers when they can run a proper blog off Blogspot with their own domain names and with a hell of a lot less concern for security issues than when trying to run Wordpress stand alone.
