AOL hacked

Postmaster.aol.com, at time of writing, is hacked. For several hours! Perhaps a DNS thing that can't be fixed by turning off the server?

The image is hosted (surely by hack) in a French lame hype-content blog under wordpress.
Look at the favicon : http://leblog.vendeesign.com/ “Web 2.0″

Mhh, it tastes like a big fail (and a exploit in the wild)

Lines 9-12 are the sauce.

Line 11, in particular, makes me weep.

Yea haha very funny, hacking of anything sucks. To the savvy reader of BB this is no big deal, but my computer literacy challenged mom still utilizes an AOL email account because she’s had the same email for 15 yrs and it’s on her business cards etc.

  By all means blame the thief, but the bank that left the vault open bears some responsibility as well.

What do you expect? They hired former Google Operations President Tim Armstrong. That’s like inviting the fox into the henhouse.

I hope Prodigy and NetZero are OK.
