Our WordPress Blog was Hacked!

The Buzz Pirates would like to extend our sincerest apologies to any of our readers who visited the site today (May 7, 2010) and received those awful popup messages warning you that your computer was infected and asking you to install malicious software. Our blog runs on the WordPress platform and apparently it was hacked to include that malicious code.

Our site has been disinfected and is now back up and running. We apologize for any inconvenience.

As a general reminder while you are surfing the web….NEVER click on the OK button when you get a dialog asking you to run an .EXE file unless you are absolutely sure what it is. Your safest bet is to just hit ESC and close the browser window right away.

For those of you out there that run your own WordPress blog, a stay tuned for a link to the awesome script we used to clean our site.
