Hackers break into Robert Scoble’s blog and delete older posts
Uber blogger Robert Scoble said today that hackers broke into his blog and deleted about two months worth of postings.
The Scobelizer blog is ranked at No. 220 among the Top 500 blogs on Technorati. It isn’t clear entirely how the hackers broke into the password-protected blog, but Scoble noted in his posting that it first happened a few weeks ago when he was still using version 2.7xx of Wordpress, which has known vulnerabilities.
It’s a scary thought and a hard lesson. If hackers get your account passwords, they could change the password, lock you out, and start posting embarrassing things on your blog. In Scoble’s case, he has restarted a new blog on a different platform.
