Blogger hack

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Everything seems back to normal after Blogger got hacked this morning. While it was out I read about this crap viral spam effort too.

Gee in the little more than a year since I’ve had this site I’ve had a hosting company go out of business, leaving all of their customers in the lurch, my ICQ account was targeted and hacked, the new hosts server was hacked and my site defaced, and Blogger has been hacked twice. Between all of that and the normal virus/spam/spyware/bad software issues I’m beginning to wonder if being online is even worth all of this crap anymore. Maybe I’ll go find a less stressful hobby.

    Per Dianna’s request, in the comments, here are my first impressions of IntraVnews: First off, I’m running it with Outlook 2003, on an older type laptop running Windows 2000, with only 128MB of RAM, so YMMV. But, I’ve found that with about 80 channels subscribed, it doesn’t run as slow as I was afraid it…
