Have you been Friday 13th hacked?

Has your website been hacked or defaced over the weekend?

I have already come across one website this morning that was apparently hacked (by having all its page titles changed) last Friday.

Just give your websites a quick check - just in case.

If it has, and it’s a blog - do 4 things:

  • Post on your blog that you have been affected.
  • Make sure it goes to your RSS feed.
  • Take it down and leave a status message on the web address. Possibly create a backup blog (perhaps on Blogspot or Wordpress). Preferably do this NOW, but certainly today.
  • Get the site back up ASAP.

If you spot another blogger or somebody else with a serious problem, phone or Instant Message them if you can - or at least send an email.
