This site got hacked today. I found some odd coding in the header theme and removed it, and that seemed to work. But let me know if the site either doesn’t come up, or comes up for a second and then jumps to some other site….

Burl Burlingame- What They’re Saying
- Tweet Leak
- As I get older, "Comfortably Numb" puts a tear in my eye every time I hear it, and I don't care who knows it.
- Once again, flummoxed by people who drive monster trucks to work — and they work in office buildings.
- Enter "Kaneohe Elementary School" into Google, and it will direct you to a random elementary school somewhere in Kaneohe. Not the right one.
Burl,
Glad you got it sorted. I was slightly disturbed (easy for me) to see a big red box plastered over my screen saying VIRUS ALERT PAGE BLOCKED. Thankfully my firewall worked!
Cheers,

So it wasn’t just me. I got redirected to a web site offering to perform a security scan of my Windows OS. And I use a Mac
BB, did you see my email to you regarding the virus? Glad you removed it.
It’s pretty unusual for a Mac to get hacked. But these WordPress blog softwares are kept on the server, not on the home computer. People were getting different responses to the embedded coding, but the odd thing was that problems disappeared when using megaproxy.com, which was a clue that a “script” had been embedded. Luckily, it was easy to spot.
I just got in no problem.
Wordpress had some major difficulties about 2-3 months ago… wonder if those same problems are lurking?
