MY BLOG!!

So some spammers attempted a takeover of this blog??!! I got a notification last week that the password had changed, which I thought odd but I logged in and didn’t see anything amiss. I thought maybe somehow the site adjusted the password itself? Or original designer of this site, who is technically still the admin and can access it if I ever need help in a pinch, for some reason might have? Neither of those explanations really made sense, but I’m super-busy these days and I couldn’t figure it out quickly so I just went with the explanation that didn’t require me to do anything.

Then yesterday there was a new user notification, which is definitely something with no reasonable explanation so I had to log back in, dig around, find the user panel (which took some digging!) delete the now TWO random users, log out everywhere and change the password. I hope that solved it but I felt very violated. I’m sure it was bots and they didn’t target me personally. They creep in like zebra mussels and if they don’t get shucked off begin posting their stupid bot content but!! This is a very personal blog and I was horrified that weird little creepers were trying to show up in here. So I posted yesterday’s very personal post in response to that. Rose-coloured is mine and though I post less than I used to, I love it and it’s important to me. Rose-coloured forever!!
