Quick update on the virus situation. Looks like we’ve managed to mitigate the issue and the subsequent damage and are seemingly back to “normal”. Thanks to all of our readers who sent me email to let me know about the problem. Please let me know if it persists elsewhere on the site, as it’s impossible to check every link, or if you notice anything else “unusual”.
Thanks!

Hi:
How did the virus got into your blog? I am curious as it might also affect my blog. Was it because you had missed one of the WordPress updates. Glad to see you back in action!

Ben,
Not sure how it got there. Some kind of email/comment attack. There’s alot about this particular vulnerability in the WordPress forums. Basically it comes in and establishes itself as an admin and then changes the way your URLs are stored and delivered.
I hope you don’t get it!
Best,
Doran
