Shoemoney Hacked

Well it would appear that Jeremys (Shoemoney) website has been hacked into and is currently redirecting to a virus.
There are many many people creating linkbait lately but for once I don’t think that’s the case here since there are examples of other websites which have been hacked and display the same text. Example: www.zone-h.org/content/view/4464/30/

Although Jeremy could have obviously gone to the effort of looking at previously hacked websites and copied it, I think it’s very unlikely.

After looking around at other sites that have been exploited/”hacked” I’d say this is a general ‘throw as much sh*t at the wall and hope it sticks’ approach and not targetted specifically at the Shoemoney website.

Update from Jeremy(Shoemoney): …it was a phpbb2 that was installed on the box… nice little string to download a perl script to search and replace index.php files owned by the websever…
