So...someone from Russia has inserted malicious code into my other blog (megansworksofgenius.blogspot.com). Fantastic. I'm working on getting it fixed and keeping it from happening again. In the meantime, I'm doing some experimenting. Forgive any weird happenings...
So, after much investigation by Jon & me, here's what happened:
Turns out I had a picture linked on that blog that got hijacked and was sending people to a shady website. (Actually, it was the Minerva Teichart 'Mary and Martha with Jesus' painting, which I find very funny). I deleted the photo, the malware code, and all other pictures that I hadn't personally uploaded. So if you notice some pictures missing from some older posts, that's why. Better safe than sorry!
All passwords have been changed, all security has been updated, and my computer was reset to a point before the attack occurred, just in case something vicious was lurking in my files. Jon & I did a thorough history search and are pretty sure we know when it happened. I won't be letting other people have unrestricted Internet access on my computer anymore...
Basically, you're safe to go there again. I've requested re-evaluation from Google, but it can take several weeks. Hopefully the 'attack site' label will be gone soon, but in the meantime you can just ignore it.
Sorry!

Greg and I often wonder why bad guys on spy movies always have Russian accents.
Now we know.
