Hacked and back to work

The site was hacked today – when I logged in to the site for some maintenance, firefox web browser gave me some weird javascript error. I the used Google Chrome to log in and it immediately gave a red coloured warning that the site planetarypositions.com is hosing some malware. My heartbeat and blood pressure spiked. I called up the Godaddy, who is the hosting provider – within 1/2 hour, the technical support crew cleaned up the malware. The site was back to work.

I appreciate:

  1. The Godaddy’s tech-support – they knew their stuff.
  2. Google chrome – it definitely is a safer and better browser than Firefox. Firefox tried to install a virus on my computer.

I understand their are some readers who might be infected during this time. I apologize. I will take precaution that this does not happen again. I will take good care of the site now and will keep an eye on all vulnerabilities proactively.
