A Little Behind Schedule

What a day yesterday! I woke up to learn that my deilers.com site (which also hosts the Alaska Or Rust site) had been hacked. If you viewed the site on a phone, you’d get a nice photo of an undressed young lady. As you can imagine, that’s a problem.

After some research, I learned that some from Turkey (probably that was spoofed IP) has uploaded zipped files, added some .htaccess files, and changed some the website files. While attempting to douse that fire (which I’ve fixed about 25% of the way), I was also packing for a short trip to Seattle. My father has surgery on his leg to improve its circulation.

Meanwhile, my mom is still on her walker from her knee surgery, due to newly pulled groin and other issues. To see the following each other, both pushing walkers, is a bit humbling!

So, I’m a little behind today. Sunday I *should* be back to normal.

    I don’t know if you’re using wordpress, but there have been literally tens of thousands of attempts at a new wordpress zero day exploit on my own website in the last week. (I don’t use WordPress, so these attempts went nowhere.) WordPress apparently has a patch for it now. Small consolation to people who have to regain control of, re-load, and re-build their websites.

    I wonder if the hack is why I received several emails concerning the prototype Willys. I seldom give out the email address I use when I comment on ewillys.

    Sorry to hear about your folks Dave. A couple old Jeepers probably wont quit, they’ll just use low range. Good luck to all.

    Loved your comment, Lee. This old Jeeper is now out of low range and has shifted into 2nd gear using a cane. Hopefully, I will be into high range soon and going down the road unencumbered with walking aids.
