I was doing my regular Entrecard dropping today when one of the blogs or Entrecard member site that I opened to drop on displayed, not its normal homepage but, a hacked or defaced page. The name of the blog is BeyondFeron.com and the message on its defaced homepage is “H a C k E d OWN3D By Mr.Computer YoUr SeCuRiTy WaS ByPSsEd By Mr. ComputerAm4[@]live[.]it” (see screenshot below).
I myself have been a victim of hacking and defacement. Two of my blogs have been hacked and defaced before but, up until now, I still could not understand why these so called hackers do this to bloggers. Why don’t they practice their godly hacking skills on banks, on Microsoft or on sites owned and operated by the FBI. Why poor bloggers?
I’m sure the owner of BeyondFeron.com already knows about this and he could already be working on fixing it. I just hope that it’s a simple defacement and that the hacker did not leave any malicious code anywhere because that would really suck. If you are hosted with [BlueHost.com], like me, then it would suck even further because they won’t and don’t offer support to hacking cases.
BeyondFeron.com before the hacking and defacement.
Anyway, I’m no Wordpress Security expert but here is a post on wpparty.com titled “20 Powerful Wordpress Security Plugins and Tips & Tricks“. I think I have a few of those plugins mentioned installed on my blogs and I would have loved to install them all but I don’t think that’s advisable. 20 additional plugins would be like too much. Maybe try them one by one and pick the best and install them.
I really don’t like seeing blogs of fellow bloggers hacked or defaced like that and I hope that BeyondFeron.com can fix it without losing any valuable data.
