Hacked no more

Big ups go to Beyaz_Hacker for "hacking" the bLog a little while ago. This alleged hacker replaced the bLog index with a more colourful version made in MS word. Beyaz_Hacker's trophy site has been hammered by google and modern web browsers making it almost impossible to view the list of poor exploits.

I had not upgraded wordpress for over a year, so it was no surprise that Beyaz_Hacker managed track down old WP installations to exploit a security hole. I have managed to upgrade to the latest version of WP so hopefully Beyaz_Hacker won't come back for more.

A google search will return a few sites "hacked" in a similar way, though interestingly I haven't found a discussion about it. I can only assume it was a common wordpress hole that has since been plugged.
