**Warning! This post may contain some foul language!**
Late last night or early this morning our site, friendsofbernardo.net was hacked. Yes, you read that right. Our site, which has about 5 visitors a month was hacked. It looks like the site is gone for good which may mean that we have to put up all the pictures and recipes up a new and I just don't know that I want to do this after this.
While the hacker did not seem to be malicious about his deed as it looks like he was just having some fun with it, I am interested in figuring out how the duck the motherucker (thanks Flight of the Conchords) got into our site. I am left with an ever growing list of possibilities amongst which are:
1. I picked up a virus that allowed him to get my passwords, at least the passwords stored in my browser.
2. He found the site by hitting our blog through the random button usage in blogger. If this is the case he found our link to our site through our blog entry talking about the house and somehow gained access to it.
Ok, this is all I have figured out for now. The result of this is that I may switch this blog to private view only. So, if you have been reading this and do not have a blogger account you better get one if you want to keep on reading this. If you know of anyone that is incredibly bored and likes to read this let me know so that I can add them to the list. Also, I will stop linking stuff off my blog. I should have known better.
Either way we start the new week with yet another fucked up story. I know it can always get worse, but I would take a no news is good news kind of week for a change.

Holy crap. That's absolutely bizarre. This kind of thing makes me nervous, because I obviously reuse similar passwords for applications that I don't care a lot about and other applications that I care very much about. I've decided to delete the link to our website from our blog pages. Sheesh.
Yeah, when I Googled the handle for the guy that claimed to do the hack I got a pseudo Blogger site. I stupidly clicked on it and then immediately realized that the site was a fake blogger site with a bunch of text in Bahasa Indonesia. I also found what looked like several sites this kid had done.
If people can put random posts in your blog, I guess malicious people can go do stuff like this.
Do you know anything about "unpatched scripts?" The guy from the place that hosts our site thinks he got in that way possibly.
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about unpatched scripts. This really stinks. I'm not so worried about my site getting hacked, because I've got the site pretty much saved on my Mac, but I am very worried about the security of my passwords, etc. Maybe it's just not worth blogging. I don't know.
By the way, I did think it was funny that you put your foul language warning up BELOW your "fu** this sh**!" title.
Hey Bernardo, I love the Flight of the Conchords! I don't have HBO but I have Sirius Satellite radio and I have it locked on to channel 26, Left of Center, which is the indie, underground and college station. One of the DJs is pretty high on the Conchords and now I'm hooked. I played "Business Time" on YouTube for my wife and she got a kick out of them too.
