What we are learning at an alarmingly fast pace is that not only are some of the locks easy to pick, in some cases the door is wide open or there’s a giant hole in the wall.

You may or may not have noticed (though I did make a blogpost about it) but I took down this site for a couple hours last night -- the reason being a massive PHP exploit that this site (& a few others I selfhost) were vulnerable to.

I'm not really sure what to do with this, other than what I can do -- be wary, pull things offline if need be. I am a bit of a pessimist in general and I know that, but I do think it is a very rough time to be "getting into" hosting websites, and yet that is what I'm doing.
