More Website Troubles

For those that don’t know, my website was hacked a few weeks ago. Someone inserted a malicious link that hid in the code waiting for unsuspecting visitors. My site host and I had to wipe everything out and restore it from backup. (you may have noticed the new look / layout).

The unfortunate result of that is that all the “controversial” posts from before I went to law school were back up, and I overlooked it. Imagine my embarrassment when a potential employer asked me about the post that concluded with the words “Cops Suck.” Fortunately, he didn’t ask me about the one that questioned U.S. immigration policy.

The moral of this story is to always be thorough. When you restore from backup, you have to go back and weed the garden. Ah, well. Hopefully it won’t hurt me too much.
