No Malware Here!

by Ravi Raman on October 29, 2008

OK, I tried visiting my blog yesterday and a warning page appeared saying that it was being “blocked by Google” due to the presence of malware (i.e. bad software that makes your computer do bad things).

I checked out my FTP site and noticed a new directory had been created with a ton of crazy files in it. I deleted the directory, and now everything appears as normal.

I don’t know what kind of loophole the hacker(s) found or why they would target a site with only a few hundred readers….but someone apparently had a lot of time to kill!

Everything is cool now, as far as I know. If you see any spam appearing on posts or pages, please let me know.
