Sometime between 5:00AM and 12:00P Central Time, this website – along with my technology news site and my high school photo and video blog – was compromised. While the investigation is still on-going, the main focus is pin-pointing where the security breach occurred as well as identifying the weak point in the site.
After consulting with other Wordpress users, I have reason to believe that a vulnerability in a plugin led to the site being compromised. As of now, all plug-ins have been disabled. The photo gallery and the ability to comment on stories will remain open.
All of our websites have been using Wordpress for years without a problem. All the plug-ins have been maintained to the recent versions as well as the coding behind Wordpress as well. The recent security breach has lost my deep faith in have all of site use Wordpress.
It’s best that we use different content management systems instead of relying on one, even though other files outside the website were compromised as well. ControlAltTV will remain on Wordpress. After the roll out the new design for ControlAltTV, my personal blog will move to Moveable Type and my high school photoblog will move to Drupal.
Imagine the world without stop signs and a corporation decided to make one. What would it look like? After seeing this video, it reminds me of how Microsoft creates a product.
The week started with the New Orleans Saints winning the Super Bowl. And the week ended with Baton Rouge and much of the northshore getting a light dusting of snow.
With the Saints winning the Super Bowl, this has to be the ultimate proof that hell has frozen over!
The day after the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl, tens of thousands of Saints fan lined Veterans Blvd. to greet the teams’ arrival at the airport. I was able to capture these photos from the Airport Access road bridge that crosses over Vets. blvd., getting incredible photos.
Me and half-a-million Saints fans packed downtown to see Sean Payton showcase the Lombardi trophy. It was also a reality check for me in the following ways:
We really won the Super Bowl
My camera doesn’t take night photos really well (or moving images in low-light)
Best part of the parade was the kicking team with Garrett Hartley, Thomas Morstead and Jason Kyle in a high-heel float donated by the Krewe of Muses. It was probably the only parade where the crowd didn’t cared if they caught anything.
More Saints photos are coming, including the Monday night beatdown against the Patriots and the Super Monday arrival at the airport.
