b.l.o.g.

New beginning.

As I had some security problems recently I am starting all over again. I hope I can restore/Import the old blog post and comments again.

You might ask what kind of security problems. Yes, this site was hacked. I haven’t updated this wordpress installation for quite a time and so it was possible for someone (maybe even a bot) to hack this site. New blog post with lot of nonsense and links were added. I assume this was done using a hole in one of the installed plugins as the plugin installation was damaged too.

Why didn’t I update the installation before? I had some heavily customized plugins and themed pages, so it was hard to update to a newer wordpress version. So the conculusion of this incident will be not to use so many exotic plugins and not to customize the themes and templates.

I hope to get all content restored by the weekend.
