I’ve had couple of suspicious goings on on my website this year then, on Monday, Damian Harvey emailed me to let me know my site had been hacked. The homepage showed some juvenile nonsense obviously put togehter by some spotty youth with nothing better to do with his life.

I sorted it out, but soon he was back even though I had changed passwords, which meant that he had to have a backdoor into my site. I feel I can’t trust anything on my site, so I’ve wiped it clean and I’m rebuilding it with new clean files.

If he gets in easly again, then I suspecvt my ISP has a back door to my site and I’ll be very cheesed off.

It’s such a waste of time and makes me realise how vulnerable the net really is. We are putting the whole of western civilisation into a monoculture that will eventually be so prone to a virus thaat will spread through the net wiping out site after site – a sort of swine flu of the net. If it happens, we are stuffed! I give it two years.
