I've Been Hacked

I had to delete all posts up to the one just below this which may or may not be everything that was changed overnight... I haven't had time to go through all my old stuff.  I'll have to give whoever did the dirty deed credit, though...  they have a good handle on my writing style.  They edited my last four or five posts and republished them, making me look like an asshat of the first order.  While that may in fact be true, my asshattery is distinctly my own and ain't quite what my hacker "friends" believe it to be.

I may be able to recover and repost some of the last day or so's  work by recreating old posts from my Word archive, or by checking other sources... like cached pages on the web.  In the meantime I need to check other things to make sure it was only the blog that was hacked and nothing else.

Update, 1415 hrs.:   From an e-mail I sent to blog-bud Andy in Loosyana:

It looks like only the blog was hacked, everything else is well and there are no signs of maliciousness or damage to my PC or its contents.  This sorta thing really pisses me off though.  I had been awake most of the night but not on the computer... at oh-dark-thirty I put my book down and went to check mail before going to bed, only to find the posts that you sent (cached?) had been hacked.  So, mayhem and panic ensued, of course.  I spent the next two hours going through all my stuff, changing passwords, running virus scans, and ending by putting up that "I've Been Hacked" post.  Then I went to bed, one tired and pissed-off puppy.

I've just now rolled out and I'm probably more pissed this afternoon than I was when I went to bed this morning.  To make matters worse, today would be a nice day to be puttering around outside rather than indoors drinking my first cup and contemplating blog-restoration strategies, as it's quite nice outdoors.  Ah, well.  This, too, shall pass.

Update II, 1510 hrs:  All better now.  Well... the blog is, kinda-sorta.  All comments left on the hacked posts will remain MIA.  I'm still pissed.
