We’ve been clean since this morning, but Google has to re-check our site and bless it, and once they bless it, your browser has to figure out that we’re OK. Both of those take time. You might want to try a different browser if one won’t let you comment.
We are now armored up with a security subscription and regular monitoring so this shouldn’t happen again.

Thanks for all the work on this.

FWIW, my Safari for Mac OS X is loading the site cleanly ever since Cole put up the New Pics.
Thanks for your efforts!

It’s all good now. I can see the site.

It was a plot. I blame Liz Cheney.

There has to be an easier way for the NSA to install a backdoor.

I took the precaution of clearing my cache first, but it seems to be working fine on Safari at home. I didn’t want to deal with anything that looked virus-laden at work, so I haven’t tried it there.

Was it real? If so, do you mind sharing any details?

Was it blog ads that screwed you with malware. They have caused past problems

I noticed a firefox option that refuses to go to sites marked as bad. Since it was checked, I wonder how I was still
able to get here while the site was still marked bad.

Thank God! I was going through withdrawal. Love the new Boss!

Yes, thanks MM for fixing “our” site – so far no pop-ups, no dire red-screen warnings, etc.
We DO appreciate your off-the-radar work (despite the griping and f*ck-all appreciation you might [not] get for it).
Now back to important stuff – like cats….

The RSS feed seems to be broken. None of today’s posts are showing up in it.

Not only is Safari working, but I can even post comments again!
Thank you Mistermix! That was a lotta hard work.

Was the NSA helpful in backing up all your files?

@Redshirt: Some people did report getting infected from the site.
There was some kind of injected IFRAME pointing to some other site somehwere. After about 3 rounds of different kinds of cleaning and restoring files, we (security people and I) got rid of it. I think it was due to one of the programs delivered with this canned theme having a security hole in it.

Move On was also attacked over the weekend. They were down most of Sunday when they had house parties all over the nation to view Gasland, the movie about fracking.
Wonder if the Kochs are now funding some hackers?
