  While I was waiting for my slow connection to load my blog tonight, I noticed two things that I have not seen before in the lower left status bar. As closely as I can remember, one was dougz-cloudfront and the other one was something like kissmetric.

  Are these legitimate, or is my blog compromised?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I changed my password and am no longer seeing those things load when I go to my New Post page.

  I’m seeing the dougz cloudfront loading when the page loads again. I really hope it isn’t a problem.

  There is no way to exploit a single blog here on that level, so you are fine on this end.

  I believe Kissmetrics is ours, but I’m not entirely sure about Cloudfront. It could be something on your end, but I have asked for confirmation.

  macmanx, thanks so much for the reply. I feel a lot better knowing that an individual blog can’t be hacked.

  I have confirmed that we are using Kissmetrics to keep track of a few things on the Dashboard (which features are used more often, which aren’t, etc.) and Cloudfront is actually incorporated with this tracker.

  So, it’s all us. Nothing to worry about. :)
