Here’s what happened

Not too long ago I read about many WordPress (which is the authoring platform for this website) plugins being vulnerable to attacks that could inject malicious code or bring down a site. Nothing happened to this one, so I figured it was too small to be a target. However a Saturday update to the Jetpack plugin, which is used extensively on this site and adds significant functionality, borked the whole site and rendered it inaccessible with the following error:

Jetpack crash

Jetpack crash

As you can see, something is terribly wrong with Line 31.
