I sent them the url for the hacked blog and the sites that were stealing logins. Unfortunately my recommendations to them for fixing issues would reduce some of the advanced customization features.

I would love to talk more with you about this. I've got somewhere who is speaking at Gnomedex about this and would love to put you in touch with this person. Dave - I looked up your website.

They were skeptical at first but I was able to demonstrate it for them and now they are anxiously working on a fix. I think when they fix that problem things will be a lot safer.

I was locked out and the hackers placed a stat counter on my site. I have no idea what the purpose was or what their intent was because other than that they did nothing. Perhaps they just wanted to prove they could do it. I did not however recently change my password. In fact I've had the same password since my blogs inception. Now I plan to change it more often but after reading this I'm not so sure. I guess if they want to get in they will. I think Blogger needs to update a little but at the same time what do I want for nothing? <br/><br/>Hugs<br/>Des My blog was recently hacked too.

I had no idea that you were among the victims. Demon Queen has set up a blog over at http://stopinternetcensorship.blogspot.com for us all to monitor developments and exchange general information about security issues--I'm sure she'll send you an invite.<br/><br/>Apart from this current security issue, it seems to me that it is a good idea for the blogging community to have a place to learn about basic security, especially sex bloggers, many of whom are deeply concerned about maintaining their anonymity. One of the attractions of blogging is its ease; unfortunately this means that many people who blog may have no real tech knowledge, and may have no idea how much information they indvertantly may reveal about themselves, in various ways. So the blog is a place where people can post articles on proxy servers, or various other things.<br/><br/>I'm so sorry this happened to you. How disgusting!<br/>Love, O Hi Vivianne,

I'm with Jill above, mine didn't seem to be religious and the four other s I know about right now weren't either. It seems to be slightly different in each case however, although myself and one other got the same viral counter installed in our code.<br/><br/>As I said in another comment, I currently suspect a phishing scheme and faux sites set up to capture passwords, which is why so many that recently changed them are being attacked. Just be weary of where you are and if it is real or not. Word up. It seems that everyday I’m hearing more of this, more sites that have been attacked.

I know you responded to my complaint over at Nympho Girl about my blog being hacked, though in my case I think it was for profit not for religous reasons, because he installed rather common links to crappy sites like "Big Naturals" and "Tug Jobs." All of the links he (I'm assuming a male) set up were set to pay out to one account: "roganoli" (you can look at links by just putting your mouse over the banner or ad text and usually a URL will appear that often has either an account name or number in it). <br/><br/>Coincidentally and unfortunately for him, he sent me a promotional spam e-mail promoting his links site which is at http://www.rogerlinks.com from this e-mail addy: roganoli@hotmail.com. Now, "roganoli" isn't a very common word. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've never encountered it before I found it both in the porn links he installed on my site and in his e-mail address.<br/><br/>Based on this information, I did a WHOIS on "rogerlinks.com" and discovered he's in Brazil, which makes legal action relatively impractical. In his WHOIS, I also discovered who is hosting him and wrote them an e-mail detailing what he seems to be doing. I just got an e-mail back from them saying that they had asked him about it and that if they don't get a reasonable explanation pretty soon (such an explanation being hard to imagine), they will likely stop hosting his domain. I may follow his domain for a while and tell each successive hosting service his story just to cause a little misery in his life comparable to the misery he caused in mine.<br/><br/>If someone puts links up in your blog, feel free to contact the webmasters of those sites to tell them their affiliate is a cheater. Write the company that processes the sales (you can dig this info up by going to the site being advertised and hitting the "Join" link). <br/><br/>Ultimately, if blogger/blogspot has a security problem, I may have to buy a domain and set the blog up there.<br/><br/>One thing is for sure, I'll be backing up from now on. I've already backed up the stories by using Firefox's "Save Page As" function, which saves both the page and the html to a file on your hard drive, but in the future, each template change will be saved on my drive as a text file.
