I didn't get far on my projects this week. My wife's health,
of course takes precedence over all other things. Besides that, I had to deal
with a malware infection on my website.
Website
My website got infected with malware last week.
Nick Wernick, whom I know through my involvement with the Society for the Study of Egyptian Antiquities,
warned me that WordPress had a
bug that scammers had started to exploit. Unfortunately, my site had
already been compromised.
The company who hosts my site, Netfirms, had detected the
malware and shut down my site. I wasn't sure at first what I had to do, but
their support team was helpful. All the same, it took me a couple days to get
the site back up.
They do offer a service that protects your
website from such attacks, but it is quite expensive. The mid level
protection is about the same as I pay for hosting, while the top level is more
than five times as much. The low level protection is cheaper, so I may go for
that.
"Summer is Too Short"
I had hoped to work on "Summer
is Too Short" this week, but didn't manage to get anything done. I did
open up the Premiere Pro file and did a little fiddling around, but no real
work. Hopefully I'll do better next week.
