i got hacked. it was very sneaky and bad; a directory filled with references to a certain popular search term somehow got implanted on my site, unbeknownst to me, about a month or so ago, and i only noticed tonight, when i looked at my stats page and found that 95% of my traffic was being directed toward pages within. it’s gone now, but i feel like a fucking newbie-slash-grandma. well, at least i’m not telling anyone about gift cards at certain popular department stores via myspace, but still … blech. i feel terrible right now! this is so embarrassing and violating; i feel like i just found out that there’s been a hidden camera installed in my apartment for the twenty-eight days (nb: that could be because i just watched a rerun of cheaters). i don’t know if this is a sign that i should update more or just take this whole thing down, although the latter would probably mean that the terrorists had won.
