URGENT : Remove your joetech.com widget NOW
http://www.joetech.com/ has been hacked.
and this is no April fool for sure, I advice everyone who is using the Joetech entreslot widget to remove it immediately, if the hackers get their hand on the that script they can execute malicious spyware through the website that is hosting the widget. this will put your website at risk as well as your visitors security. depending on how they alter the script the can send cookies to your visitors browser and harvest valuable information..
UPDATE
So Joe played a prank on us, made is think he was hacked , but in the end he was not, I think this is a bad taste of joke, specially when you offer a small service/widget on your blog.. oh well enjoy your day and sorry for the commotion.

[…] At least one person thought that my prank was in poor taste, while others didn’t seem as bothered. This is due, largely, to the fact that dozens (hundreds? I haven’t counted) of people have my Entrecard Slots and Ad Slots widgets on their blogs. I honestly hadn’t thought of that, but the widgets were loaded over 300,000 times in March, so I should have. In any case, it was all in good fun and I wasn’t hacked. I’m sorry if I scared a few people. […]

Ha, that’s funny. I like Joe, he’s been a huge help with my upcoming contest (he’s helping me with the contest widget and DB stuff). Don’t be a hater ‘cuase you got Punk’d!

I did get punked didn’t I? I’m not feeling bad about it, I just became super worried about what could happen if it really was hacked, because javascript combined with php is hackers heaven, and I know because as a little punk i used to do this stuff to. so yes, I did get punked but if it was a standalone website i wouldnt be worried, but in this case I was…..

Don’t believe anything you see on the internet on April Fools Day! Otherwise you might have believed that all the big sites were hacked. It seemed to be the theme!
