Matt Cutt's Blog Hacked

Famous Google software engineer and Google SEO informational guru, Matt Cutts blog looks as if it's been hacked! But, it's April Fool's Day and I pulled a hack prank in 2001 on one of my sites. Search Engine Land reports it as if it is a hack and they even offer background of the apparent dissension between Matt and the apparent Dark SEO Team hackers. The Dark SEO Team has had a bit of a beef with Google's Matt Cutts from back in 2005 over URL hijacking. Looks like they've pulled a prank on him today. Matt's blog is down, hacked -- and archives wiped out as well. Matt has posted previously to this about the site being slow (post gone, but you can see his Twitter comment here) and heading offline through Monday, so you might be seeing the screen above for awhile. I hope it's Matt pulling the prank. He set it up beautifully if he did. First, his last blog post - from a feed - said he was receiving a lot of GET commands and things were acting strange...then I went to his blog and saw the image. Here was Matt's last post and you can use your imagination to decide! My site has been acting a little slow and weird today. I checked my logs, and I’m seeing a lot of GET requests causing strange errors. Most of the requests have escaped Unicode characters, but they don’t appear valid. Sorry that the site is kinda slow; I’m going to be away from the computer until around late Monday, so I don’t have time to check it now, but I’ll try to track it down when I get back. Either way. Happy April Fools and I hope Matt's back up and running soon.
