CypherFS-DarkSide for CypherHackz.Net

26 October 2007 8 Comments

I actually want to use this theme on 19th December 2007 because on that day, it will be the 2nd year CypherHackz.Net and I exist in the world of blogging. But because I am so excited, after I finished code this new theme, I then uploaded it and use it for my CypherHackz.Net.

This theme is called CypherFS-DarkSide . Why DarkSide? Because the main colour is dark but I still maintain using the orange colour because it is the trademark for my logo. Other than that, I have removed all unnecessary things such plugins, ads, external scripts and so on to reduce the page load time.

What are the differences between this theme and the previous one? Firstly, this theme has two sidebars on the right. I decided to use two sidebars because I want to put everything on the top. This can ensure that my visitors (you!) no needs to scroll way down if they want to see what the things I put on the sidebar are.

Before this, I use Nod32 antivirus (now I’m using Kaspersky 7) to protect my PC from viruses. Although Nod32 is good but my PC was once got infected by a virus and it had remove my Folder Options from the menu. Other than that, it also had disabled my Task Manager.

I thought I can get the Folder Options and the Task Manager back by using Regedit, but this virus is way too smart and it also disabled the Regedit. There is nothing I can do and lastly I format my PC.

CypherHackz.Net was hacked!

9 September 2007 20 Comments

CypherHackz.Net was got hacked by a hacker from Arab Saudi. The hacker name himself as Body (search “Hacked by Body” in Google) and claimed that my site is vulnerable. He also leaved me a message to patch the site.

At the time the incident happens, I was in a seminar and suddenly I got a SMS from my someone. She said that one of my websites has been hacked. Then I asked her whether other websites got hacked and she replied, Yes. At that time, I really hope that the seminar ends as soon as possible.

The hacker probably gained the access from the security hole leaved by the unpatched WordPress scripts. Because I am busy and don’t have much time to online, I don’t aware that WordPress has released new updates to patch the security issues few days ago.

Although the problem has been fixed by my hosting provider, I still need to maintain and keep my websites are up to date with the latest WordPress version. If you don’t want your website be like mine, you better upgrade your WordPress now.
