I have discovered several hacked posts on my blog, and there are doubtless many more. I am in the process of reviewing posts and taking out material inserted by the hacker(s).

In the meantime, posts should be read with caution. If you see odd links to other law firms, products, or services, or any other indication that you are reading a hacked post, I would appreciate it very much if you would send me the link to the suspected hacked post. You can email links to me at gregATgregmaylaw.com.
