Have You Backed Up Lately?
There are some hackers going around hacking MT blogs by using some MT files (mt-load.cgi and mt-upgrade.cgi). Please go read the post that Ben made so that you can keep your blog protected. Zalary was one of those hacked. :-( While you're at it, it's probably not a bad idea to do a back-up of your whole site as well. Don't forget, too, to save your MT Templates. I just went into the template section and cut and paste them by hand into Notepad.

Ya we got hacked this weekend... Jenkinsonline is our main site... my blog and my husbands (along with our pics gallery and forum message board) is housed in our website. It really, really sucked. What's even funnier... the hacker posted a reply to my husband's post about being hack... (les.jenkinsonline.net) It is obvious that the hacker wasn't bright enough(thank goodness) to actually gain control of our blogs. He could only lock us out and/or add new posts to them. From the return message, it would seem our hacker is a "no-life" kiddie with nothing better to do. My husband,however, did admit that he learned the lesson of double checking for those "holes" that leave your site open to hacker. He forgot to delete the appropriate file after upgrading MT. OH well, lesson learned... time lost, but not any data or structure. :-)

Another good thing to backup is your db directory. You can just download the whole thing (in binary mode) to your hard drive, and it not only has your posts and comments, but your settings and templates in it, and if you ever had a big error, you could just reupload that directory instead of re-importing all of your posts again and resetting up your templates. :)
