To those of you blissfully unaware, Jedimoose.org got hacked over the weekend. The damage wasn’t particularly vicious, but it was widespread. Essentially many of the PHP files across a couple of the subdomains had been altered at 2315 on Friday night so that they were sending information to a sever in Russia. This necessitated me taking down the site completely, and getting the hosts to perform a restore from backup, which has now (finally) been completed. Other than the sites not being available for the past 48 hours, there should have been no other noticable impact.
I have not yet confirmed the point of entry for the attack, but as a precaution I will be ensuring that every Wordpress-based site on the domain has been updated to the latest version of Wordpress. This may include a short bit of downtime for each domain.
Additionally, can I request that all subdomain owners reset their Wordpress passwords immediately.

Hmm, not good to have the site hacked; I’ve just upgraded *my* WordPress as well, since it might have been a couple of minor releases behind. Shame there’s no *real* automated way to do this…

stupid commies.
(oops i’m i like 20 years behind the times?)

Thank you Ben for saving the day and our beloved domain…you rock man! I too agree with Guy Icognito, let me know when you wanna rally the troops, my pointy stick and various throwing stars are ready and waiting for deployment!
