It's All About the Benjamins

Jump to Comments When your webhosting company send you an automated response because they think that your site has been hacked, and they send you what looks like malformed sed strings to clean up SEO spam, don’t run the sed strings to check whether or not they’re malformed. They are, and what you thought was sed’s test flag is not in fact sed’s test flag.

Three hours of my life I will never have back.

EDIT: All portions of iaatb.net not in blog2/ or upload/ are no longer web-reachable. The first time this hack-and-spam thing happened, I thought I could solve it by updating all of the many cms packages scattered around iaatb and then just turning off on things that weren’t the blog. Looks like that just isn’t going to work.
