 8) I see you boys.

Site was down yesterday temporarily because the Huffington Post hotlinked to bohomoth which used up a tonne of bandwith and cause the server to overload and crash constantly. So we took it down temporarily to have a look at what was going on and do some emergency maintenance. It didn't take long luckily.

The above yagerass thing relates to http://blog.fox-it.com/2014/01/03/malicious-advertisements-served-via-yahoo/

Our ad server is Glam and we use Google ads via Glam as secondary ad units. It looks like the yahoo exploit's moved on to Google.

So if any of you websperts have google ads on your sites follow the advice in the above link. We did that and luckily nothing there was ever a real threat.

We had a couple of other tech issues too which are all sorted.

Thank goodness for my experts.

@ Polonus are you Polish? I love a bit of Latin  ;) - cool username. Was that you who came posted in our comments as well? That was sweet of you if it was. thanks but we've got a top flight tech team luckily. I know lots of people cut costs with that sort of thing so appreciate the input if it was you. There's so many horrendous eyesore sites in our field of expertise that I felt we had to get decent techies. I'm glad we did now :-*

One more thing. Why are you looking at our site with such interest in the first place Pol? Closet celebrity gossip fan ? Lovesit. You've definitely come to the best place.  ;D :P ;)

Hi bohomoth,

Good you found your way here. I am into website security just for the "good of my soul" and also because it is a darned interesting security specialty "third party cold reconnaissance" scanning. Your site issues came up with a recent  VirusWatch report, so I felt the urge more or less to take a closer look and report here in the virus and worms. Good you reacted to all of this and showed an interest in enhancing your site's security.
Your visitors will be grateful for that  ;D .

For your information I am Dutch and I "married into" Polish culture and language so-to-say  ;) .
My advice is to further cleanse the site from questionable or less secure code. Ask your server guy(s) that host the website to send an X-Frames option header along to remove any clickjacking vulnerabilities. 

groetjes/pozdrawiam, kind regards

Damian aka polonus

Morning Polonus,

Dutch people with an interest in all things Polish and third party cold reconnaissance scanning are my favourite ;)

The problems with any potential threat are all sorted. It could take a while for various scanners to update but it's all ok and we're adding a Git repository (via github.com ) out of the site which'll make it much easier to track.

Thanks so much for your help and interest and please let us know if you spot anything harmful in future. Like all website owners we're trying to grow and sometimes I feel like Sigourney Weaver in Alien battling monsters in unchartered territory ;)
