Sad to hear. :( I'm assuming he was running wordpress? I've seen way to many wordpress blogs hacked. The problem is just maintence, you have to keep wordpress constantly up to date to patch security holes. If you don't it will inevitably get hacked. Same goes for all server side open source.
Many times I've wanted to redo my blogger.com blog in wordpress, indeed wordpress is simply better, but the truth is blogger.com is virtually hack proof since there's absolutely no server side code running. It's all handled by blogger.com and written to the server via sftp. I've really come to appreciate this rock solid security and ZERO maintenance, and to be honest it's the primary reason I simply recommend blogger over wordpress to anyone who wants to self host on their own domain. The exception being if they're a developer and already running code on their server, in which case they're probably aware enough of the maintenance issues to run wordpress. Lately I've been doing a lot of work in the bike industry and it seems the entire industry from shop owners, to racers to bike makers runs almost exclusively on a blogspot hosted ecosystem. It simply works. P.S. a good auto-backup system or version control system for your blog is a MUST if you run wordpress. A lot of hosting providers include this stock. -Mike mmeiser.com/blog flickr.com/photos/mmeiser2 On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 6:42 AM, Steve Watkins <[email protected]> wrote: > Looking back a page or 2 on his twitter history, I think the site got > hacked. > > http://twitter.com/joshleo > > Cheers > > Steve > > --- In [email protected], David King <davidleek...@...> wrote: > > > > Anyone know what happened to josh Leo's site (joshleo.com)?
