Wordpress blog hack rampage

I received an abnormal high number of signals and messages from people abandoning their Wordpress blogs,

because of their hacks, just like Fridaynite did .

It appears to me that simply because there are so many vulnerable Wordpress installations out there, it became a promising goal

to hack Wordpress installs and

  • inject some HTML code (for links)
  • inject WHOLE POSTS into the wordpress archives (backdated)
  • put in some cookie-stuffing code in to overwrite affiliate links’ credits

PayPal Scams - Beware of Phishing emails

It is a pleasure shopping online with paypal. Every freelancer who works online with customers from across the globe finds it simple to get paid if he/she holds a paypal account. Paypal does make life simpler, and with the newly launched paypal debit card, you can even withdraw money from an ATM, just like you would with a bank account. Because of these reasons more and more people are adding themselves to the paypal name every day, and more and more hackers are targeting paypal as a result!

The most common of scams with paypal are the ‘phishing’ emails. I got those scammy paypal fraud mails already three years ago… but they haven’t stopped – so I think this article is worth lightening up things for all of my readers and the internet crowd in general.
