Anyone who still takes a look at this sad, abused little site probably noticed an interesting AVH error stating that your IP was currently being blocked by the AVH anti-spam project.

I’m not entirely sure what happened as of right now, but I can tell you that it most certainly was not the case.  As close as I can tell, it looks like one of two things happened:

1. Someone hacked my site so that I would request a removal of my “home” IP address from the AVH project; or
2. AVH flaked out on me in the middle of a blacklist.

From what I can see thus far, I’m leading toward ’2′.  I couldn’t find any indication that there had been any unauthorized access to the site and besides the unwelcome error, everything appeared to be in place.

Regardless, I wiped out the site and restored from a backup just to be safe.

And to be even safer, I deleted any unusual left-over accounts and changed passwords.

Oh, and I made sure I’m all patched back up.

I guess we’ll see what happens next.  Ta for now.
