The move to the new server and the closing down of the old server has finally been completed.
A big thanks to Robert Redl of Austria and Davide Villani of Italy for their great help in managing this very challenging job.
I’m looking forward to now resuming more productive activities.
Several sites have been placed in maintenance mode for now.
This week all newsletters were delivered via the new server and the new mailing list system (Free World Express).
The Free World Express™ mailing list/email newsletter service has now been converted to a modified version of PHPLIST and moved to the new server.
We were using OemPro before which offers many more features. But I found their tech support incredibly unreliable.
Moving the Free World Express™ mailing list system to the new server. Or trying to.
Due to a silly blunder – I accidentally initialized the database and lost all the settings I’d configured over the weekend (Ahhhh!!!) – so I’m now running a couple of days late on this.
A boring, laborious chore.
A bunch of PRODOS sites and systems on my Australian server – but not including the THINKER TO THINKER™ blog platform – were hacked a couple of days ago.
Files types targeted were:
iframe tags enclosing a known .cn “attack site” URL were included within these tags and injected into the files, causing sites to break.
After two days of working at it I think I’ve now repaired and restored everything and added extra security here and there.
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to identify the exact point of vulnerability which allowed the code injection into the system. That potentially leaves the sites opened to be re-hacked. Still working on it.
This repair job has delayed finalizing the move of the mailing list service to the new server, unfortunately. So, if you’ve applied for a mailing list account, it’s going to be a couple more days before I can set this up for you.
I’ve set up a new, free service which provides supporters of capitalism with the tools they needto design, build, and deliver their own email newsletters.
The newsletters don’t have to be about Capitalism – provided the newsletter owner is personally and clearly pro Capitalism.
