Hacking your Megaherz · 10:10pm Jan 25th, 2017

So, you know the "chunk of text" I toss into every single chapter's writer notes? Well one line in that is the only bit of advertising I do for my patreon. That line, looks like this:

Support me on atreon

Why am I showing you this? Well, the image file for the P was hosted via a tiny bit (50MB) of web space my ISP gives all their customers, some of which apparently like using useless passwords. The result? People using that webspace to host phishing sites, online scanning services finding those phishing sites and blacklisting the WHOLE subdomain.

So, if any of you are wondering why your AV (Malwarebytes definitely does this, not sure about others) goes a little nuts when viewing my stories/blogs, that is why.

SO, changed hosting to Google, got a fixed up URL (as you can see above), but now I have about 100-200 chapters that need to be updated. There is a reason I asked staff for a "notes signature block" when I started on here, and this is it. Going forward, all chapters will have the fixed image hosting, but dang, I don't know if I am up to editing ALL those chapters... (if you are a member of staff reading this, and there is an automated way to do this, please let me know!)
