    This is the second time the Empires wiki has been hacked. It will be down until further notice.

    I received an automated e-mail from my host saying they have scanned and identified a backdoor in a mediawiki php file. That's all. I am taking the wiki down to prevent anything coming from it.

    This is essentially what was found: http://aw-snap.info/articles/backdoor-examples.php

    Krenzo, can you send me a database dump of the wiki so I can copy over data on my localhost to a new Wiki in the future?

    I do PHP right now. My mind is slowly unraveling. Luckily, I have functional programming to keep me sane.

    I won't even look at php when I can avoid it. It(php) just fucking silly.
