Sorry to anyone that subscribes to my RSS feeds or who has been on the site in the past 24 hours. It seems that this site has been the victim of a hack. I created a category yesterday called Alexa and looking in that category today I find 14 posts about mobile phone ring tones pointing to a site “ringtones-top.info” there is no site there.

What the hell is WhoisGuard? They seem to be a company that allows hackers/Spammers to hide their identity… ok, not so fast… I have full logs and will be going through them with a fine tooth comb and will report anything I find out.
I am unsure on how the hack was performed, but it was posted under my admin username. I have changed all passwords, and will be upgrading wordpress to the latest stable release.
So just a warning to all you bloggers out there, check your wordpress blogs
