Spent part of the day today upgrading the Child Abuse blog to Movable Type version 3.2. The upgrade process wasn’t too difficult, but there have been some slight changes to the admin sections that’ll take some getting used to, and it’ll take me a few days of use to really get a feel for the…
Yesterday was almost an entire day trudging through the world of faulty DNS records, broken telephone cords, unexplained inability to dial outside, which just as suddenly started working again, a lost internet connection that kept me from updating our website database, and various other semi-emergencies. I was so busy putting out fires that when 3PM…
Going to be in full investigation mode today. One of the PC’s here at work, when visiting some website, got 3 different Symantec warnings about Trojan.Trunlow: The virus warnings said “Access Denied” But at the same time stamp, Symantec was shutdown, and some of the password stealer .exe’s listed on that page showed up in…
