Connect on Social Media Facebook Group • Instagram • Twitter • LinkedIn Episode Summary On July 20th of this year my website was hacked and malware was installed on my backend servers. My website was promptly shutdown and the next 8 weeks spawned into more work outside of my natural strength zone than I could have ever imagined.
