Ack! I’ve Been Hacked!
One of my old long-ish entries has been hacked. Someone has deleted it and replaced it with “greetengs.” I’ve been a victim of comment spam before, but hacked entries? Has anyone else experienced this?
I never took entry backups seriously but now I will. It’s a good thing Google cached the entry so I was able to restore it immediately. I’ve changed my password as well.
UPDATE: ok, it’s not as dire as I thought it was. I got a quick reply at the MT Forums. It turns out the “hacked” entry was one that received a comment spam. When I deleted the comment, I accidentally clicked “save” for a different form, posting the spam comment into the individual entry. I’ve got to be careful next time. So it was no hacker. *whew*
