Thank you for the alert. I could not access the blog for a while. I figure it was whenever they were fixing the server thing.

However, I find it hard to believe that you had to instruct people on how to clear their cache. That is one of the first things people who look at “questionable content” should know how to do. :P

Eh, don’t pat me on the head too hard, Raj. ;-) Sadly there are good reasons why the corporate guys can’t be seen to admitting to security breaches; ErosBlog is not quite that corporate, so I can still provide the warnings my readers need, but if I had just a little more skin in the game (i.e., corporate assets, shareholders) it would be a much harder call.

Thanks for your candor in disclosing this security breach. In this day and age, it’s far too common for people to sweep these things under the rug. Keep up the transparency and great blogging. :-)

‘To the doc’
slaughter house video ad mid way, chick eating a hotdog top ad, very bad choice in advertising

No, that’s just animal rights activists being their usual charming selves. I’m quite baffled by why they chose ErosBlog to spend their advertising dollars, but since they made it clear they were linking to something ugly, I saw no reason to refuse their ad buy.

Sadly, I can’t blame the ads for this one. The ErosBlog server appears to have been hacked, apparently via a vulnerability in other software running on the server. All *seems* fixed now, but of course I’m interested in reports of anybody who is still having trouble.

Er… does this have anything to do with the not very sexy, mood-killing vegan advertisement, on the side border of your blog, that takes you to deplorable slaughter-house footage when you click on it???
