http://securityawareness.blogspot.com/ suspended
Yep, you got it - go to http://securityawareness.blogspot.com/ and you see:
"This blog is under review due to possible Blogger Terms of Service violations and is open to authors only"
I see that http://superantispyware.blogspot.com/ has also been suspended (apparently because of hacking).
If you conduct a Web search for the above sentence, you'll this that this is not an isolated incident. So, the question begs answering ... how is blogspot being hacked, how often is it happening, and what are "do no harm" Google going to do about it?
You are welcome to use the URL below to conduct a web search... the first page is quiet, but you see more and more suspensions as you drill through more pages:
http://www.google.com/search?q=+%22This+blog+is+under+review+due+to+possible+Blogger+Terms+of+Service+violations+and+is+open+to+authors+only%22&hl=en&lr=&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&as_qdr=all&start=0&sa=N
Yes, the affected blogs *could* be legitimate terms of service violations, but how can we tell? Just how pervasive is blogspot hacking? How many blogspace visitors could potentially have been put at risk? Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands? Millions? Is blogspace just another myspace - regularly hacked and occasionally fixing things?
And as for blogspot's comment about "possible Blogger Terms of Service violations" when it comes to securityawareness and superantispyware ... just how do they get from "blogspot's servers were hacked", which, by the way, is NOT the fault of blogspot users, to "Terms of Service violations"???? Sorry, but I fail to understand why securityawareness and superantispyware should take a negative hit to their reputations because blogspot servers were hacked. Damn it, blogspot users have absolutely no control over the hackability of blogspot servers (assuming, of course, that securityawareness and superantispyare were silly enough to use an easily hacked password...)
It would be more honest, methinks, to put up a notice saying:
"Sorry guys, your blog was hacked 'cause our security let you down - sorry 'bout that - we'll call you once we clean up the mess".
Jeez.... not nice to hint that superantispyware and securityawareness are the bad guys in this....
