Can your blog get Hacked?
All was quiet. I spent a day on the phone, sorting, planning, finding some nice honest websites to do business with. It was an unusual day, as I had not had a chance to check my favorite forum boards and see what the latest news was.
Not even one minute into trying to catch up I see “News Flash!!! Yust Yucky Was Hacked!!!” I just about lost it, as I’ve been neglective myself and did not have the proper back ups to my blog. On top of that, Yucky is Wordpress too!
Freaking out, I flipped here to affiliate scams.
The relief. All the time put in so far to starting this blog. I know, it’s not like Gone With The Wind or anything, but hey! It’s mine!
And maybe it will help someone. That is the whole point of leaving it displayed to the world.
Relief set in when I saw all was in tact. But then came the question. Could my blog get hacked?
The answer sadly is YES.
Taragana has a little something on the possibilities of a Wordpress hacking. There are many more on the subject as well.
I don’t really know if Yucky was hacked. But the important thing to run with here is be sure to back up your blog.

ps: dashboard, manage, and export!
Every time I come here, it has me in a different location. Still not near where I actually live. LOL
Thanks for the reminder. I am horrible about backing things up and nothing like a close incident to make me realize that I am not prepared. Yikes.
I appreciate the PS. too because my next question was going to be…but how???
WOW that was a scary momnet for all bloggers in the battle with Kimkins.com and Kimmer. Glad no site was hacked with important info on it like join the Kimkins class action lawsuit site.
The easiest way in is if someone guesses your password, so make it hard to guess. I’m sure there are harder ways to get in, but that’s something for your provider to address, I guess.
Thanks for the tip about backing up. I have no idea how to back mine up, so I’ll look into that. I’m on blogger.
OYB
Stop the fraud! Kimkins members may join the Kimkins lawsuit. Here is a video that explains how easy it is to join the Kimkins lawsuit.
