[Hidden-tech] my blog is getting hacked - help

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Tom,

Glad to hear that you've most likely got the solution. If I remember  
correctly, you work on Mac workstations, so the hints about malware/ 
spyware (mine included) wouldn't have necessarily applied. Hope the  
new blogger.com email username is something proprietary to you. Maybe  
even something random and alphanumeric.

Not being a user of blogger.com, that would have been a hard one to  
solve. Wordpress has a similar post by email feature and if they use  
it, I have my clients create a specific address just for posting from,  
and we guard it diligently.

Have a great rest of the week.

Best,
Kimo
