Malware Problem Solved

virus

Man, this is what happens when you host your blog on your own server :S

Someone hacked into my index.php and inserted some stupid <script> tag thingy. It was recognized as Malware. For you Firefox users, Google Advisory gave a strong warning against coming here, the rest had their malware detection alarm come up.

Just wanna let you know how I solved it, in case you might run into the same problem in the future:

  • I made sure I was registered with Google Webmaster tools.
  • I then checked all my files for any stupid <script> tags that contain gibberish.
  • I confirmed that all my files’ permissions were set to 644.
  • I logged in to Google Webmaster tools and asked them to review the site again.
  • I changed all my passwords in my server cpanel.
  • I emailed my server provider with the details in hopes for them to strengthen the security.

So sorry for the inconvenience, but ahbonk.net is genki again!
