Hacking Blogs

Spammers are now hacking vulnerable blogs. Beware! I can imagine the anguish if someone breaks in and messes with your content.

    I’ve had my blog hacked into earlier this year. Of course, it was hacked by idiots with gothic aspirations and bad english… and not by spammers. But I share your view about the anguish if someone breaks in and messes with the content.

    For bloggers who host their own blogs, the best strategy would be to have a cryptic password and latest versions of whichever blogging software they’re using. Of course, a good host with a regular backup plan helps no end too!

    Sameer, sorry to hear about that. I hope nothing was lost. I wonder if the hackers just guessed your password or found their way in through some technological means. If it is the latter then no amount of cryptic passwords is gonna keep them out, right?
