I Hate Hackers

Lately, I've been having problems with people hacking my WordPress sites. They hack in, put popunder ads on the sites, and then slink away, leaving me to deal with whatever fallout might occur. Can't these people get a life?? If you're clever enough to hack into someone else's domain, shouldn't you be clever enough to build your own site? Instead, they choose to destroy someone else's hard work. The hackers may see some short-term gain, but the site owner can be in for long-term troubles. Nobody wants their site to get flagged by McAfee as a "bad" site or to have their domain name denounced on Facebook as a dangerous place to go. But that's what can happen when hackers come in and do their damage. Visitors to the site don't know it's a hacker, not the site owner, who is trying to pummel them with pop-up ads.

So to you hackers who have been messing with my sites, I have three words: get a life.
