Hacked - Brian

28 July, 2008 (08:01) | Random, Software

We discovered this weekend that someone hacked our photo site and added some code to the pages to try to run an ActiveX control – only IE users were affected.

Unlike Windows or OS X, there are no automatic updates for our website when a security problem is found in the software we use; it’s up to me to do the updates. Because we’re pretty busy, I let this slide for about 6 months, long enough for a security vulnerability to be discovered in Gallery, the software we use to share our photos.

The software is fixed now and I’m in the process of re-doing all of the customizations we had, hopefully I’ll finish it this week.
