not an attack site

I promise I am not attacking you.

The reason Delicious Juice Dot Com is being flagged as an attack site is a long and sordid story:

http://www.deliciousjuice.com was hacked, and some nasty bad code was added to the content. This content would load viruses and set off alarm bells all over the place. Normally this would be a bad thing – and it is, really – but it’s not a catastrophic thing, and here’s why:

blog.deliciousjuice.com and http://www.deliciousjuice.com are hosted on different machines. However, the domain is the same – so while http://www.deliciousjuice.com is rightly flagged as a hazardous site by Google, blog.deliciousjuice.com is also flagged but is harmless.

Here, see for yourselves:

Google Diagnostic for www.deliciousjuice.com
Google Diagnostic for blog.deliciousjuice.com

See? One is bad; the other only looks bad because it hangs around with the Wrong Crowd but in reality it has a heart of gold and helps to feed orphans on cold winter nights.

http://www.deliciousjuice.com is offline for the moment, until it can be cleaned up. This might be a good time to attempt moving all my archives over to WordPress, but I’m daunted and exhausted just thinking about it because that’s 5.5 friggin’ years of textual cacophony to deal with. So, we’ll see.

I am a safe and family friendly website! I am not sending you viruses or spyware and I am not malicious in any way! Don’t believe the hype – I am not an attack site!

  1. Hi,

    I was on your blog yesterday at work. Midway through the day my email stopped working even though messages were leaving my outlook “out box” and ending up in my sent box. Problem was no one was receiving my emails and I wasn’t getting any. This morning I ran Ad-Aware and then Sbybot. Sbybot found a trojan horse. Once I got rid of it my email started working. Could this be related, or is there no way that one would have received a virus from logging on to http://www.deliciousjuice.com yesterday? On another note-glad to hear you were okay in spite of the stupid lady who unknowingly tried to kill you yesterday. I too had a close call on the way home from work yesterday. Idiot talking on a cell phone that cut me off so badly. At least I had a lot of metal around me should an accident have occurred. Keep the shiny side up. I wouldn’t have the nerve to ride a scooter because of the notoriously bad Vancouver drivers. They seem to come out in droves as soon as the weather turns nice.

  2. Hey Charlene,

    Do you come here from http://www.deliciousjuice.com? Or do you go to that URL often? That site is actually completely separate from blog.deliciousjuice.com – if you access me using blog., I doubt the virus came from here .. what’s the name of it, do you know? I got it on my work computer and I have screenshots, so I could tell you if it was the same.

  3. Hi Kimli,

    I don’t have your blog book marked. I’m pretty sure I came here via the link on Tanya’s blog. Sometimes I just type kimli into google but on Tuesday I definately came via Tanya’s blog. I went back to Spybot that reported the Trojan Horse to see if there was a history of the bad file that it had deleted, but there is no record. I think it was trojanhorse.exe file but I can’t be sure. I’m sure it’s all a coincidence and has nothing to do with your blog at all. I surf a few Vancouver blogs daily to break up the monotony of working in an office. It could have come from anywhere or through email. Anyway, I’m still enjoying reading your blogs because you don’t censor yourself, your writing is great and most importantly you make me laugh constantly. Have a great weekend Kimli.
