Hacked!

I hate to say this since I'm a rather security conscious guy -- but the old incarnation of Kravlor.com was exploited via an insecurity in the Coppermine photo gallery software on top of the old PHP-Nuke CMS. No user account compromise or password cracking (thank God), but the attacker was able to install an IRC chatbot.

It looks like they compromised it on July 17; I'm just glad I caught it at this point rather than later. Grr!

This made me take extra time to accelerate the transition from the old version to the new; I've now scrapped all prior content and ported over all the old photos that were in the gallery. 301 Redirects abound; I've kept around the old Quotes page and backported other content like the Ultima guide and the Windows Tips to my new Drupal system.
