Fighting off a malicious redirect that affected only search engines

Hey all,  I’ve been working on removing a bunch of malicious lines of code from my site that I assume were put in through MySQL inject, but I’ve changed all my passwords just to stay safe, and hopefully keep YOU, my fellow readers too.  If you’ve been visiting this website by typing the domain in the browser bar this shouldn’t affect you at all, traffic was only redirected if it was driven here through some referral link. Anyways, the malicious referral was stopped by the IP re-routing service since the resolving site was probably full of malware.  So, I’m pretty sure those of you coming to the site in any way were safe, I just thought it would be good to be transparent about why those of you who arrived from google et. al weren’t able to get here!

For the time being thecirclesandlines.com will still have this referral issue until I can fix that (should take much less time) but afterwards I’ll be doing some construction on the websites to keep things a little safer, including child themes so I am not disinclined to update my themes and expose vulnerabilities and exploits.  Hopefully I’ll get some of those posts on Krenek I promised soon!  I have a stack of papers written by him to peruse through.
