Blogger Hacked

WCityMike writes "Blogger has been severely hacked into, with users' passwords and e-mail addresses being replaced with 'hacx0redbyme' or 'hax0redbyme.' Apparently, attempts to change your password or other information do not succeed due to a major database problem. Blogger currently has no official news: its main page simply apologizes for being down for repairs and its status blog has no information, probably suffering from the same accessing problem as other blogs. In the meantime, discussion, information, and advice is appearing on the weblogs of Anil Dash and Tom Coates, as well as this QuickTopic thread. Glad I use another journaling service." We usually try to avoid "Site X Hacked!" stories, but since this affects so many people - and, heh-heh, they don't have anywhere else to talk about it - here you go.

The problem with overhyped blogs...

[Dark Lord Seth]

... is not the creator of those blogs who use everything from 500kb animated gifs to multiple embedded flash files to gain attention, no, it's those sad people who clique together and generally agree on everything that the creator writes. Basically, most blogs are from women of all ages and most fans are 14 year pubescent teenagers hoping to read something sexually orientated. Unfortunatly, it almost never goes past this:

I saw this and that movie and OMG is so r0x0r3d! All my friend on IRC agreed with me, except this Seth person who was being a dickhead again. Oh and my cat threw up sulphuric acid when at my mother's place, ruining the 3000 dollar persian carpet. Sorry moms, pops... Luv ya all, your favourite grrl!

Something like that, only true blogwhores type allot more and generally convey even less interesting facts... Ah well, at least I'm not wasting my time on stupid overhyped blogs. As for that someone who cracked the Blogger DB; Do something more useful next time your g/f breaks up with you, getting back at her by ruining her blog isn't the brightest thing around.
