Hacker cracks Google’s official blog site
A hacker broke into Google Inc.’s main official blog and posted a false message on Saturday, saying that the company had decided to cancel a joint project with eBay Inc.
The intrusion marks the second time this year that Google’s official blog has fallen into unauthorized hands. In March, Google staffers deleted the so-called Google Blog by mistake and someone briefly took control of the Web address.
In Saturday’s incident, someone exploited a bug in Blogger, the Google Web log publishing service on which Google Blog is hosted. The hacker published a note riddled with grammatical and spelling errors that said Google had ended its click-to-call advertising project with eBay because it was “monopolistic.”
