Hi Josh,

I had a similar experience with a site that was running on Joomla. It took me more then two weeks before everything was back to normal. And then it took me another two weeks before I was listed again in Google. How long did it take in your case?

yes, came here from google too. your site is being found again
but a friend of mine has the same problem. his site disappeared from the google search and he says that the number of visitors has decreased as a result.

How troublesome. Glad it’s resolved, dropped by from google search.

A wordpress site of mine was also hacked about a year a ago. Had to call my hoster to fix it, what a mess that was.

I feel your pain as well josh, if you are not a php guru like me platforms like wordpress and joomla are the only tools we can use to create a site. And at the same time having no control over the security. I saw you are back in google, keep the blog going!

I actually did come here from Google, seems like your problem has been resolved.

I proposed a potential solution for spam but didn’t have much uptake. Maybe your readers can either give it some momentum or explain why it would not work:

em..
actually the people you are calling hacker are just a bunch of kids who know nothing from hack .
all they is just surf the well-known wxploit sites which there are ready to use exploits or how-to , then they use it on any site that is famous or they are jealous of.
so they are not really hacker, and just by calling them hacker ,they think they are something .
but they are not,they are just bunch of stupid kids who thinks this is hack .
one more thing, change your captcha, this one is stupid and bots can easily find it .

Does this have anything to do with your feed stopping? I came onto this site to obtain the link (copying it from the address bar is faster than most methods) and noticed this new post that isn’t in my RSS reader.

Just a note, you might want to add a CAPTCHA to the comments instead of the less noticeable and probably easily hacked SPAM check you have at the bottom.

I’ve been actively chasing down the WordPress vulnerability issues (and their consequences), taking measures to reduce their impact on Technorati’s data & systems and evangelizing measures to thwart the perps. Latest post on the topic is here.
thanks,
