Security breach

Posted byRandall 178 Comments on Security breach

This blag has been hacked.  Sorry.

As those reading by RSS may have noticed, there are ads being inserted periodically into the bottom of xkcd blag posts.  They’re hidden from the web view.  This is due to a security hole in WordPress 2.7.x and 2.8 (and possibly others).  davean is watching packet flow and trying to figure out exactly how it happens, but in the meantime, sorry for the annoyance.  One way or another, it should be solved soon.

I just had extremely minor surgery this morning (removing a lipoma from my right arm).  I’m fine; it’s just a paranoid better-safe-than-sorry thing. But I’m writing this under the influence of the lingering anesthetics and my first-ever Vicodin.  No interesting side effects so far other than dizziness, a higher rate of typing errors, and the tendency to zoom images all the way in and stare at them for several minutes at a time.  Why *is* that cat in the ceiling, anyway?  Hello, internet.

  3. Funny – when my dentist gave me vicodin, it did absolutely bugger all for me (both in terms of dealing with the pain and fun times).

    I was so disappointed…

  4. Wait, if you call your blog a blag, and blog is short for weblog, then wouldn’t blag be short for weblag?

    zomg, this blag is slowing down the internets!

  7. Gotta love dr house, he brings food on the table by curing people he don’t care about or caring people he don’t cure about. Seriously, first time on vicodin is just strange, i agree!

  12. Sie amk. I was so sorry to hear what you were going through since November….and seeing your Monday April 4 comic – I wonder if things are better or how you’re coping up with the illness in your family. Your comic strip has made so many, many of us laugh through the years and have a sense of humor about life through our tough times, wishing you strength during yours. vay ak.
