Before:

Kevin was born on the mossy hills of Scotland and lived for a while in West Lothian before the mores of pre-Thatcher and REALLY pre-Oasis Great Britain sent his family across the ocean to North America. They moved here and there and Kevin did the same when he was old enough. Now he lives in London with his family and a Dog.

Kevin Wardrop is an amateur writer, amateur photographer and professional pain in the ass. He has worked in the PC support business for most of his adult life and has been accustomed to simply answering technical questions as a matter of fiat, it was his career choice after all. Now he herds cats and puppies for a living as well as babysitting the web enterprises at the heart of western industry.

Web Stats Since Hack

Web Stats Since Hack, originally uploaded by NiteMayr.

With the redirect I have in place, these should be the last stats I see from this hack, but on Thursday someone used my uploads system to create a phishing website and by Sunday their phishing email was out there.

I’ve redirected the phished URLs to an anti-phishing advice site but I’m fairly freaked out by the sheer number of folks who have been taken in by this.

Over 500 people have clicked through, 450+ since I removed the hacked content.

This sucks for them, it really does.

I was hacked!

I was hacked and for a couple days, without my knowledge was used for phishing. I don’t have logs that go far enough back to show when it happened beyond on the 15th and for the most part I don’t care when it happened. I just got rid of the files as fast as possible and wiped out the directories.

I asked my provider to go ahead and pass along any information about the breach to paypal who asked for logs and so on.

Maybe I should have kept the files?

Hopefully no one was taken in by the scammers.

She loves the flesh of the arm!

This was from our trip to Manitoulin Island, at the shore of Ice Lake.

It’s the weekend, we’re getting ready to face a return to normalcy for us, me at a day-to-day job and pulling down a paycheck. The main difference being that I am going to be a contractor, any advice for me guys?
