Short of the Week

Recovering From Malware Attack

SOTW / August 6, 2010

Short of the Week was just hit by the round of malware attacks affecting many innocent WordPress blogs over the last couple weeks. Fortunately, Google caught the infection early and prevented the attack from doing more harm. We’ve taken steps to clean up the infected files and plan to beef up on our security measures to prevent future attacks. If you’ve been hit, this site was most helpful for me.
