GBC be Virus Free – The War

by Jacques Jones on April 29, 2010

It feels like aeons have passed since I last published an article and although its only been a fortnight its been a slow and painful one.

So what’s the low down? Well for the last fourteen days and fourteen nights myself and a very talented programmer from Pakistan have been struggling to remove an exploit that was added to the inner workings that make Grievous Bodily Charm possible.

Why would someone want to do this to our magazine? Well with popularity comes jealousy and greed. What do they benefit from doing this? Well its a hack to attempt to trick search engines and such to make them think “OUR” traffic, is “THEIR” traffic and therefore giving their website more value and popularity. I am not sure if this actually works but it seems during March and April of 2010 the base64 decode Ninoplas virus has been rife in hitting WordPress based content management system run websites.

Who do I blame? Firstly myself for not being more up on the security measures to put preventive blockades in place to prevent this and also GoDaddy for being well a pretty shitty hosting company. Thanks to Arshad of ExtensiveWeb for the great assistance with this issue and if anyone finds this from searching for base64decode or ninoplas then I highly recommend you contact this guy.

How can I make it up to the people? Well now this digital clap has been completely removed we have lots and lots of music, art, and other stuff to share with you guys. For now here are some songs I have been listening to over the past few days.

In the United Kingdom there has been a lot of political goings on with the general election nigh which has been making me listen to the almost 20 year old classic track from Young Disciples that is still of equal relevance today. What have we learnt in the past 20 years?
