Somebody (from Saudi Arabia, apparently) attacked this blog this morning.
First, someone succeeded in breaching my login. Once in there, he changed my login password as well as the email associated with my account. That was at 11:29.
Then he launched four SQL Injection Attacks at 11:31, 11:33, 11:34, and 11:43. Thankfully, those were detected and blocked by my firewall, which also identified the attacker’s IP as 94.97.85.10.
Thankfully, I tried to log in shortly thereafter.
When I couldn’t do so because my password wasn’t valid, my cranial alarm bells went from dormant to frenzied in a NanoSomethingOrOther.
I went straight to my SQL database, changed the email address on my account back to what it should be, then changed the password. I was done with that by 11:53.
I’ve been unable to detect any other damage done to this blog. But this person could have changed posts, comments, and pictures. So I’m warning you: there may be bad content somewhere here.
If you come across evidence of such tampering, please let me know right away.
Thanks.
And may God bless the attacker. Amen.
