A weakness in WordPress blogs made it possible for someone to add code classified as malware to our blog yesterday. We were alerted about the the problem and have taken steps to remove the code. We’ve requested that the site be rescanned to verify that the problem is no longer present, but it’s possible that some web browsers will continue to report our site as potentially dangerous for some time.

Looking at the code that was inserted, our site itself never contained anything dangerous – it was merely a link to a site that might have contained dangerous code.

In the end, this just goes to show that you’ll never know when being able to program a find-and-replace routine in PERL will come in handy…
