One of the official blogs for Google AdWords users in Italy, http://googleagenzieonline.blogspot.com , seems to have been hacked today.

Yesterday, it looked like that:

It's not the first time a google blog is hacked, but it's still unpleasant.
[Tom ~ URL fixed]

PS: this blog is different than http://adwords-it.blogspot.com which is still active.
The previous message of the hacked blog was 2 days ago :
http://googleagenzieonline.blogspot.com/2009/08/la-nuova-interfaccia-di-adwords-bye-bye.html (no longer available)

A character "," must be removed from the URL, i.e.
http://googleagenzieonline.blogspot . com/

I modified the URL to prevent clicking, however.

I was modifing the URL too, btw ^^

I'm curently writing an e-mail to Google Security....

Thanks, Tom, I'll pass it on to the team!

The subdomain is now available for registration. Anyone can grab it.... :-|

If you guys are looking for the blog, you can find it at http://adwords-it.blogspot.com/ (it moved a while back :-)). We're going to add a short "we moved" message to the old URL to keep things clear.

Again, thanks for posting, Tom!

John

Thanks for the process and url fixing, TOMHTML

JohnMu Unfortunately, Adwords-IT and Google Agenzie Online where different blogs! I can still read their feeds in Google Reader and there were different posts.

I've realized statistics for an article one week ago (http://www.zorgloob.com/2009/08/tout-savoir-sur-les-blogs-officiels-de.asp) and I can prove that.

Adwords-IT has published 51 messages in 2009 (last one on 2009-07-29*, the previous message was posted 6 days before) while "Programma Agenzie Qualificate AdWords" has published 66 messages this year (last one 2009-07-29* too, the previous message was posted 2 days before).

So there were definitely different blogs.

Hi Tom, to be honest I haven't been following the Italian AdWords blogs that well :). I'll pass your comments on to the team!

Thank you John. I'm suprised to see that no one Italian Googler, even blogs writers, saw that. I'm pretty sure his owner deleted the blog by accident ;-)
