WordPress.com / CNN.com redirecting to superfantastically.com (hacked?)
- ahrens 16y agoAll the examples work for me. Something local? Solved?
- sucuri2 16y agoIt seems they fixed already (not local, as you can see from the twitter stream).
- bentayloruk 16y agoI am seeing this too on a Wordpress blog I put up for my cousin. You can see it happening for http://www.yogabanbury.com http://www.yogabanbury.com Contacted Wordpress.com support. I suspect a hack.
- sucuri2 16y agoGood reply from the WP.com guys: Hey folks – I work for Automattic. Around 9:53AM CST this morning, while troubleshooting an issue, one of our developers accidentally pointed all mapped domains on WordPress.com to their test site. We quickly became aware of the problem and replaced the test site with an error message, since some site owners were concerned that their sites had been compromised. We then began the process of restoring good data from our backups. By 10:48AM CST, all data had been restored and we had cleared various caches which may have been polluted with bad data. There was never a risk to the content associated with any site on WordPress.com, or any security compromise. Instead, it was an important mapping table that was accidentally overwritten during debugging. We apologize for the problems and are looking into ways to prevent this type of issue from happening in the future.
- bentayloruk 16y agoThe reply may _sound_ good but this issue still exists for my cousins Wordpress yoga website http://www.yogabanbury.com http://www.yogabanbury.com so I don't see how the issue can be fully resolved. Does this URL work for anyone else (i.e. am I hitting some proxy I'm not aware of?).
