Thread: Virus attack

I am sorry about the infections some of you got. It was a malicious attack on my server that I reacted to very fast, and cleaned up within a couple hours. I actually found out within a half hour of the infestation, and started working on it immediatly, once I knew.

Everything is cleaned up, even if you look at the google messages you'll see the following:
"The last time Google visited this site was on 2010-09-01, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2010-08-31."

But in my google webmasters toolkit, it states that they are reviewing it now. So we're just waiting for Google to take crappie.com off the backlist.

And also, just so you know, to prevent this from occuring again, I'm upgraded some base software to the most current release, I installed additional software to make the site more secure (I can now see a log of attacks, and I can also blacklist IP's), and lastly, I've disabled the Crappie Buisness Directory entirely, at least untill I can find a fix to prevent attacks through it. It's that software that I believe let the bad guys in.

So we are good to go, safe and sound. Just waiting for google to update their blacklist to remove us.

thanks, slab!
