Are you hosting with Media Temple? Just wondering if this is related to the problems they have been having…

I’m sorry to hear this happened to your site but is some ways I am not surprised. Personally, I never use open source software and I write everything myself. Can you not write your own blogging software? That way, people will be totally unaware of any security holes other than yourself.

Oh no! It won’t stop me coming here I only found you a couple of months ago and I find the articles really useful. Did you do anything special to prevent it happening again? I’m worried about my wordpress now :S

Ouch. Must be extremely frustrating to have this happen to your blog I’ve had this happen to me a while back, but through the forum software I used. Really annoying having to spend your time cleaning up after these sorts of attacks as well as rebuilding the trust of your visitors. It sucks, but unfortunately it’s the reality of the web right now — popular CMS software gets attacked every second by malicious bots and it’s just something you have to work to protect yourself against. Hope you get it all sorted out with no further problems.
