Some sort of Malware!
Apparently, WordPress blogs that are hosted on the RackSpace cloud are having some issues. That also appanerently includes MY blog. Alas, poor Okpok! But fear not, I have figured out what to do.
Chrome told me that my computer was at risk by going to Okpok. I must say, I am in love with Google Chrome. It has been an awesome upgrade over FireFox.
I did some Google-Fu and found the following link:
Attacks on WordPress Blogs on RackSpace
The hackers gained access to a bunch of blogs and made a spoof user named called “Amin”. Sure enough when I checked my blog, I had the fake user name. I deleted it. However, I still had some infection. I did some source code investigation and found that in one of my posts, a javascript line had been placed. I didn’t know where to delete it from my blog files so I just deleted the post itself. That seemed to do the trick. No more warnings from Chrome and my blog is happy again. Yay!
For those who would still like to follow me on Twitter, I can be found at twitter.com/brendanpjohnson. Thanks!
