Turns out there’s a nasty exploit in Wordpress 2.3.3 - which if you don’t have it installed people can get into your control panel. You can read more about it here.

Unfortuanately, I’m horrendously busy today, so I’m not going to be able to upgrade until at least tomorrow. Will let you know how the upgrade goes.

But even so, I hope I don’t leave my blog open to attack…

Turns out my blog is back - more on it tomorrow - You can see the carnage here.

Comment by Mathew Browne

OK, technically you launched this prank at least 10 minutes early, hence I *don’t* feel stupid for falling for it hook line and sinker at 11:58 on March 31…

Hahahah, nice april fools prank yo’


 

Brilliant! You win for the most elaborate prank I’ve seen online this year - beats ‘Virgle’ hands-down! The only one better I’ve spotted is that BBC ad for a ‘new’ wildlife show which features penguins flying to the tropics.
And it’s well past noon now anyway.

As good as all the featured videos on youtube linking to rick roll?

Hottest Blogger comp: Guess it’s necessary to be female? Or can men in bikinis qualify?

Well done, you fooled me - but it is now well after noon, so don’t feel too bad about it!
