updates

Just in case you didn’t know, this site was attacked/hacked. My wife noticed it last week, when she tried accessing this site, which then redirected her to another site that warns visitors of a possible malware attack and then makes it look like it’s scanning your PC, complete with warning pop op messages. Those malicious sites are
www1.firesavez7.com
www4.suitcase52td.net
Of course I panicked!
It took months for me to find this theme. It took so much time and effort making it look halfway decent, researching plugins and a few tinkering here and there.
And since KG‘s site is a subdomain, it got infected too.
I searched online for ways to remove the malware, but most of the tutorials call for scrutinizing php files with malicious javascript injection and then removing the contaminated code. That sentence right there made me dizzy and sent me into a frenzy. php files. javascript. contaminated code. What the effing are these? I wouldn’t be able to tell which is the malicious code and which isn’t.
Since I don’t know anything about it. I did the only thing I knew. I exported our sites, praying everything will be there when I import it back. I then removed/deleted our sites from the main server (GoDaddy).
I’ve been in constant communication with my server’s customer service since day 1, and they’ve been very helpful. Further research led me to reports that it was actually my server (GoDaddy) that got hacked. The attack on GoDaddy apparently happened on May 1. And it took a while before it spread to their servers and thus affected websites hosted there too.
As of writing, about 8 hours ago, I received their latest report. They’ve checked and confirmed that my hosting account indeed had php files that contained a javascript malware injection (nosebleed!) and have removed the said codes.
I would like to ask everyone to please let me know if this site still redirects to another suspicious site. Thanks!
And to the hosting support staff Mike F., Matthew A., Pete H., and Christian P, thank you.
Special thanks to Mai and Glenda of Oodles of Goodles and Jo of Wits and Nuts.
