We Were Hacked, But We’re Now Free!

Last week, somebody (or something) hacked into our server and installed malware on a bunch of our pages. We’ve got it all deleted and are working on our security right now. Hopefully this doesn’t happen again. Thanks for sticking through with us.

If you were on the site any time in the last week, you might want to run some scans to make sure you didn’t get infected.

There’s some great free software available at download.cnet.com

We recommend trying:

AVG Anti-Virus

Ad Aware Anniversary edition

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

The site that installed the scripts is martuz.cn, check out the Google Safe Browsing diagnostic page. If your site is infected by scripts from this site or a similar one, we recommend you check out Google’s Webmaster Help page for information on how to fix it. Also try these resources that helped us.:

Daniel Ansari Blog

Unmask Parasites

Many, many thanks to crewmember Andrew of MinuteMorning.com who helped clear out all the bad scripts.

Good luck and sorry again, we hope that this doesn’t happen again to anybody!
