Well, the hacking of Blogger has made me for one feel dirty and violated. Which is actually quite nice. Hmmmm....

But yes. One of the interesting things about the whole fiasco, exept the comical fratboy hubris that has kept any mention of it off their front page, is that anyone who had stored their FTP password with Blogger suddenly had no control over who could post on their site. In that respect it was very technocratic - anyone with the skill to find out a single password could at the very least put things in the publishing queue of pretty much any blog. I wonder whether anyone chose to abuse this by leaving "Hello. You're a great big twat. And I've had your wife" on some blogponent's "to publish" list.

Did you come back to find anything daubed on your walls? Or, if you did leave your FTP password inside the car, did you come home to find that somebody had used your blog to tell fibs? Tell me.
