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.

Hi guys… Sorry because there is no update for more than a month. It is not because I want to stop blogging but it is because I don’t have internet connection at my hostel. Besides, I have many other things that I need to do especially for my Final Year Project. So I only can online from my university IT center like once per week just to check my email.

Because I can’t get online frequently, I didn’t notice that CypherHackz.Net has been removed from Google. Thanks to baloot for his comment on 14th August 2007. After read his comment, I do PR testing and I was shocked because my PR is not 5 or 0, but it is Not Available. And of course, I will losing money because of this thing.

I came out with this idea after I saw some interesting logos at Google doodles page. They have make many custom logo’s for important days like World Cup, Google’s Birthday, Mother’s Day, etc. Or maybe I will end up by making my own museum for CypherHackz.Net doodles too. :p
