Security Update

Long and short – you’ll need to change your FTP password. And probably other ones too, just be safe. And also, be aware:

Password changes delayed in the web panel
http://www.dreamhoststatus.com/2012/01/21/password-changes-delayed-in-the-web-panel/

I changed mine last night, and in spite of the processing clock having vanished, it wasn’t working until I checked this morning. Granted, it turned out I’d changed it twice somehow, but oh well.

I know some people are complaining, but really – Dreamhost has pretty darn good customers service and transparency in most things. I still think that my website is getting the base64 infections from WordPresses updating on their system… but at least I know that’s less likely to happen if I upgrade them myself. So iunno, I’m still happy enough using them and would still primarily recommend them to friends and family. 🙂

That’s it for now – I am le groggy today, and I intend to do nothing to celebrate it.
