Hi everyone: I've been visiting this great BB for some time, registered recently, but had yet to post. Unfortunately hackers have now tipped my hand.
My website was hacked. Thank you Bailey for sending me a PM letting me know about the Trojan that some nefarious !*?%! silently planted on it. According to my web host, you were only at risk if your antivirus, firewall, and/or Windows updates were out of date, and if you let ActiveX run wild. Which means, chances are small you've been hit. But I still feel horrid -- like I sneezed on you the day before a big gig.
I didn't pick up on it even though I check the site every day. Turns out mine was one of about 300 hacked on my host, the site was only compromised for a few days, and is now clean.
Please, if you visited my website between Monday May 1st and noon EDT Friday May 5th, and your antivirus/firewall/Windows updates were not up-to-date, update asap and run a full AV scan. So sorry. PM me if you need more details. _________________ Blue skies -- Lauren Lee
