About three weeks ago artXed was a victim of a malware attack. Globat apparently removed the issue or so I thought until last week, when I got an email saying my account was suspended because of malware. I asked kindly after the first incident to know where the vulnerability was. Globat wouldn't tell me. So I tracked the issue down to a zen photo install I had setup for my Dad on Mittler.ca. I removed zenphoto completely. I thought everything was okay and Globat unsuspended my account. Then to my amazement while on the subway I got an email again from Globat saying my account was suspended because of yep you guessed it, malware. When I got home I connected to artXed.com's FTP and noticed that all my php files were infected with code that sends a user to a known malware website. My only course of action from here was to remove everything and start over.. I have done so and if you are reading this then my account is back. I'm fairly busy at BabyRobot so I might not have anything up here for a bit. I would like to redo artXed, maybe over the holidays. Until then...
