Valued readers,Â
Unfortunately Better Nation got hit by this malware campaign over the weekend: http://blog.sucuri.net/2012/02/malware-campaign-from-rr-nu.html I’ve now removed it using this Little Bit Of Shell(tm) (run it as cleanup.sh affected-directory). We’d like to apologise for this, thank the Loyal Readers who alerted us to this and assisted with debugging it and recommend that anybody who has a login here change their password. Having looked at the injected code it seems focused on redirecting peoples browsers rather than scraping passwords but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Legend Aidan, for being able to fix this. Hopefully BN will stay clean going forwards and apologies from me also for any inconvenience.

Well done for getting on top of it quickly. Security concerns aside, I approve of anything which promotes the IT Crowd 🙂

I assume you first tried turning it off and then on again ?
