Google Blog hacked?
Posted in Technicalon Mar 27, 2006
I was looking through my live bookmarks on Firefox, which is simply the titles of RSS feeds (or in this case, the Atom feed), and I found something unusual.
Where I usually find the latest posts to the Official Google Blog I found instead a title that read:

That was all I could see. When I clicked on the live bookmark, I was taken to the following URL:
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2006/03/google-fix-your-blog-pleeasssee-3-p.html
which turns out to give a “Not Found” error. Furthermore, the Offical Google Blog and its Atom feed also return 404 errors.
So what happened to the blog? Was it hacked?
