So my apologies if they were able to use this to push any malware at you (although it appears the backdoor was more likely used to enlist SOS in DDOS attacks on other sites).

So the good news -- the infection is gone, and shouldn't be coming back. The bad news -- I've had to update how I handle permalinks to SOS posts, so not only will old incoming links be broken, but a lot of folks following SOS via RSS readers will see every one of SOS' 4 years of blog posts reappear in their readers.

Again, my apologies for any inconveniences this inflicts on people -- but it appears to be the price of clearing up this security problem.
