Fighting the Good Fight


While it may not have been apparent unless you were very unlucky with your timing, the ScrapYardArmory website (to include the main blog and Succession Wars) experienced a sustained hacking attempt over the last few days.

Hackers managed to exploit a WordPress vulnerability to insert several back doors onto my server and then proceeded to flood several directories with spam code.

Most of my first attempts to clean up the mess failed as the back door exploits would simply replace anything I tried to delete as well as each other.  Luckily I had backups.  We have had one previous scare over the years and a backup saved my bacon when I needed it most.  The years of work I've put into the blog and the Succession Wars site is too much value to not have backed up and safely stored away for when the shit hits the fan.

After much head scratching, tools, guides, and blocked IPs later I am showing a clear radar.  I'm going to keep a close eye on things over the next few days but I am hopefully optimistic that things are restored to a sense of normalcy.

Honestly I'd rather be spending my time developing for the site than fending off hacking attempts.  

Cheers and happy gaming!
