Annoying Turkish Script Kiddies
by Jim on Feb.23, 2010, under Site Related
It looks like – for the second time – a random Turkish ‘hacker’ has decided to take down my old site. Tech Rant is a dead site running a dead Content Management Service (CMS,) hence it is going to be an easy target! I can never recall why I chose Postnuke… There’s probably a number of weaknesses in the CMS in it’s current state and with no updates available since the developers decided to drop version 8 and start with a clean slate; the site is effectively a dead duck. Let that be a lesson for anyone deciding to not choose the popular option! Be sensible and get a well supported, popular CMS like Wordpress — or do a Katy and make your own (again!) 
This little escapade has reminded me that since I have already ported over all the posts from Tech Rant to here; there is little point in the site being alive. After all it will simply be waiting for the next script kiddie to come along… Once I get round to setting up a downloads database here, then the domain will simply point here for a year or so before getting dropped. I have moved the files over for now, its just setting up all the files will be a boring and loooooong task.
I have set up a few posts regarding the N900 and some nice software, so there should be some content here! At the same time I have gone through the usual duties of updating Wordpress through a good few thousand builds (it updates soo fast!) alongside a bunch of plugins.
