Blogging – Blog Hijacks

I received an email telling me that my blog hadn’t been up as it should always do. I admit that I seldom take care of this blog. I only post new articles via Windows Live Writer’s scheduled post, but rarely visit the site. So I went on a check up and the front page had been all gone and replaced with

“Site under…hijacked by h***…”

I was a little bit panic, knowing that if somebody managed to access my blog from the back doors, then he/she could have been able to do the same with my other blogs! I went googling the hijacker’s name and found out several blogs was broken an entry. On one of those blogs, I red a message

“Where’s the security, Admin? Don’t worry, I only changed your index”

Then I rushed to my file manager and restored the index.php file with the back-up copy I did 2 weeks ago. Problem solved and the world is spinning again .

Morale of the story is, respect your parents, love your neighbors and clean up your room.. hahaha…

Maybe you’ve heard of bloggers reminding you to make a back-up of your asset, well, today I’m stressing that the problem I faced could have been worse. And if I didn’t periodically download my own site’s content and database, I’d spending a couple of months ahead rebuilding what I’ve started back then. That, and another thing to learn is, always look for security holes and patch’em!!
