The Ordeal

As you know, we’ve had a malware issue over here. We have spent hours upon hours, likely totally full days, fighting with this whole mess. It has been incredibly challenging. Even yesterday, when I could post and feel more safe, I was still getting scans that weren’t happy. This and that – old plugins, one weird file, etc. Scans even failed completely. Timing out. Being angry. More research, more digging. When we first decided to purchase a firewall program, we thought all would be well immediately.

We were mistaken, haha! Its definitely taken more work than we anticipated. But we’re here! And we understand a lot more now, and things can continue on!

I guess I’m here to say, though, if this issue continues to persist, and malware continues to infiltrate my blog through the firewall, my next move will be to call it on The Daily Hailey and move on. Which feels drastic, and I would absolutely rather not 💜 But as we approach a crazy big milestone of blogging, as well as entering a totally different stage of our life, it wouldn’t be the worst timing. But again. I’d rather not.

If the blogs stop coming again, you can assume I’m struggling with hackers yet again, and I will do what I can to get back on here and redirect you to the very probable next blog I’ll start. Because at this point, I love writing every day and I don’t plan to stop.

I appreciate how patient everyone has been with the back and forth. The late posts. The unpredictability. I hope the worst is over. Thank you for sticking it out with me 💜
