A couple of friends let me know that this site is being listed as an "attack site" in Firefox 3 and at least one antivirus program (Avast). This is not without reason. I found a hijacking script in my main index page today. I promptly deleted it, but am not sure how the script got there in the first place. I've taken steps to prevent it from happening again, but this is just another reason I'm leaving Dreamhost.

In the meantime, I apologize if this problem affected anybody, and this is NOT AN ATTACK SITE (anymore, admittedly).

I wonder how long it will take for FF3 to unlist me as an attack site now. According to this page, "The list of known attack sites is maintained by the community and updated regularly." Hope that works both ways, for removing attack site status as well as adding it. Anybody know? (hint hint)

Here is the warning message appearing in Firefox 3: View image

Between this, the big Dreamhost billing escapade, and general site sluggishness, I'm thinking of jumping ship and already adjusted my billing plan to monthly payments in anticipation (when oh when will I have time to do this?)

It is such a pain in the ass to have to change webhosts again... Perhaps some company will figure out how to do it right some day...

The rest of my uptime reports are saved for posterity after the jump:

Please put the resources you are spending on stupid marketing schemes (like the special invitations in my inbox this morning) into making your web hosting more reliable.

That is all.
