HACKED

Hello to my email subscribers (if you’re still there).

I’ve been hacked in a way that is only visible to my email subscribers. Spam messages are going out through WordPress.com email notifications.

I’m working on fixing it, but unfortunately this happened right when I went on vacation to Yangshuo with my family. Will try to solve it ASAP!

UPDATE: I had the problem fixed within 24 hours, but unfortunately some of you got spammy emails from Sinosplice. Sorry about that. The problem is fixed.

    So it wasn’t the real John Pasden sending those emails? I guess I will never know the answer to “Does Wendy have the same agreement with Reno”.

    In all seriousness, sorry you got hacked and hopefully it doesn’t prevent you from enjoying Yangshou.

    Cheers!

      Ha ha… thanks, Scott!

      This form of hack doesn’t seem as much of a pain as past ones to resolve, but it looks like I’ll need WordPress.com’s help to do it, and their support team is not especially communicative with non-paying users (like me), so we’ll see how this goes…
