Hack Attempt

Just noticed an attempt to find unprotected admin/phpMyAdmin interfaces on one of our servers. The script appears to try common URLs (below) for PMA, presumably in the hope that the admin has left it wide open. As ever, keep those doors locked and secured!
/phpmyadmin/main.php
/PMA/main.php
/mysql/main.php
/admin/main.php
/db/main.php

Hello April

The following things are true:

  • It’s been a crazy couple of months
  • I miss blogging, even if only five or six people seem to read it.
  • I don’t miss the number of spam emails and comments I receive daily, hourly.
  • I have turned off comments, but that’s not to mean you shouldn’t email me
  • I wish they would hurry up and release Series 7 of West Wing on DVD
  • Yes, I have reset the template. It wasn’t working. You weren’t tripping.

Normal service will resume very shortly.
