On the hacker's trail...




On the hacker’s trail.

My new site got hacked last week. Almost all of the links were broken, and since the site is, in essence, a collection of links, it took a lot of work to fix.

The hacker left me a message, so that I would recognize him/her/them(?) the next time.

The next time was today.

Same MO, but this time the message said I was so wide open he/she/they could hit me anywhere, anytime.

So I shut everything down, and thought about it.

My site gets launched in a few days. I have been hacked twice. It looks personal – ie I don’t think I have been trailed over by some bot, someone is coming specifically after me. So I have to upgrade security. Funny I already did that this week, and now I need to accelerate.

Well, whoever it is did me a favor. So I am grateful, actually. Thank you Mr. Hacker. Keep the kids off the highway. Peace.
