Some shitbag hacked my host (rdwarf.net) and replaced every index file with a defacement page that includes war atrocity photos. And a taunting message about lack of security, without, of course, any notes on what the exploit was. I love you too, skript kiddee.

And just earlier today I was saying something about being glad high school is twenty years ago, and being really annoyed that the Internet now means that people stuck in that social state are always there, trying to make everyone's world suck the way theirs does. I'll bet if I found this guy and talked to him he'd have some line of rationalization about how he's enhancing awareness of vulnerabilities, and doing me a service, because people who enjoy being assholes on the Internet always seem to have some justification like that. Or he might just say "LOL FAGP0WN" a lot.

Ironically, I discovered this after reading an article on cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, and going to check my back-end pages for a few things. Arrrgh.

I have a local copy of egypt.urnash.com's index files, but the only copies of the ones on the old site are now overwritten with this garbage. Hopefully there are backups remotely; I'm not sure. I don't link to them any more but I left them up; it's a snapshot of who I used to be, you know?

I hope nothing of mine was the exploit vector.

No email for me, right now. It's the same machine, which is down right now - hopefully because Loki discovered this and shut it off posthaste.
