- New WordPress Backdoor Style Discovered – Hackers Think They Are Sneaky
I was cleaning a client’s site today that had been hacked, when I discovered a new backdoor implementation that I had never seen before.

- I Got My Eye On You
No, really… I think this may be a sign that I am watching too much The Walking Dead. By the way, this would look great on you or your boyfriend/girlfriend on a t-shirt!
- Google Says “Fuck It” For The Christmas Season, Removes The Ability To Report AdSense Violations
It has to be tough policing a program like AdSense. It must be exceptionally difficult during the holiday season, when the payoff to running scams grows so much more.
