Am I the only one who gets a wrong spamlike summary when trying to share this link? Have a look https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http... og:title is Doxycycline mail order og:description Buy online generic no prescription Doxycycline. Get cheap low price Doxycycline without prescription. 100% Secure. Fast Delivery But I wasn`t able to find this in the html sourcecode of the page ?

It serves spam when I request the page with curl, and goes away if I put a user agent header in there with "Firefox/12.0". Odd.

Please don't sell that startup from a beach dream on exoticism. I would like to cast a diverging opinion from my personal experience. For various work-related reasons I left Europe in early 2008 to live in Martinique, in the French West Indies. It is very close to what the article describes - tropical weather (you will never get cold - 25 C/ 77 F is what we call cold and take a jacket for - home weather station on ht…

I'm from New Brunswick, currently living in Moncton, and I'm really surprised you mentioned New Brunswick, and then called it exotic! But it is indeed all relative.

> I'm from New Brunswick

New Brunswick, NJ?

Oh thanks for the hint! I was able to reproduce it. Weird. Nice idea to hide the spam.

Your site has been hacked and is only showing the hacked pages when the request looks like its from google.

If you wget on of your blog articles you can see an example. (Registering your site with webmaster tools google would of notified you if it sees suspicious activity like this)

There will most likely be a base a base 64 encoded string at the top of your index.php file than when you decode will contain the exploit.

Keep wordpress up to date.

That's fine and good, but writing from Berlin as it comes into springtime, I for one would much rather have my boring, isolated, day-to-day grind come without metric assloads of snow and ice on everything and relative inability to do anything outdoors for half the year. I expect no sympathy from Californians, but for those in NYC, Boston, Chicago, Berlin, etc - upvotes to the left. :P

I've lived in Minneapolis (most extreme), Santa Fe (most sunny), Mountain View (most pleasant), Brasilia (most normal), and London (most cloudy).

I actually prefer having cold snowy winters and hot sweaty summers as it alleviates the monotony quite well. But Berlin-level snow is not enough. What's the average annual snowfall there? In Santa Fe in Christmas of 2006 we got four feet (120cm) in town in one 4-day storm, now that's an assload and a half.

These guys are very smart... their hack doesn't even leave a presence in the source or cache. It's happening via JS I believe.

It`s working now. So have you been able to fix this ? Is it Wordpress? Or Apache? Thank you.
