blogs.setonhill.edu Hacked

blogs.setonhill.edu Hacked (Jerz’s Literacy Weblog)

Many of the pages on the blogs.setonhill.edu website have been taken over. As far as I can tell, the blogs are operating correctly and the data are all safe, but the hack is taking over the display. Very frustrating, I am sure, for SHU bloggers.

I’m seeking help right now.

Update: It looks like the blog entries and everything else that bloggers have put into the site are all safely locked away. The only files that seem to have been affected are index files. So if you “Rebuild” your site, all the functionality should return.

Rebuilding the site won’t plug the security hole, which seems to be at the ISP that SHU pays to host blogs.setonhill.edu. More updates as soon as I get them.

  1. Well, is there any way to find out more about who did this and why? I think there was a political agenda behind it. The words “liberte” and “intolerancia” paired with “les minorias” and “prejudicando” make me think that this is propaganda for a racial issue of sorts. And is it Portuguese? Why wouldn’t someone hack in -our- language to get the message across (there are translators out there, not that I’m saying it’s okay to hack)? When it’s in a language that’s not readily translatable it’s, sadly, just annoying. (And this all coming from one who adores language of all kinds…)

  2. I fear that I WILL have to hurt someone. My blog is still down, so I’m pretty miffed about that right now. Personal or academic, both my blogs are a labor of love. Sheesh – I wonder what I’d do if someone hacked into Wanderlust.

  3. THANK GOODNESS they’re back :-)

    I fear I may have had to hurt someone if anything had been lost… strange how attached you can become to something that isn’t “physical” per say…

    *phew*
