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

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Tom,

Sorry for your troubles. I hate this crap!

Some thoughts...
1. If you haven't already enabled it, enable the captcha feature for  
every post, unless you schedule postdated publication of posts.
2. Some widgets have been defined as malware -- check yours against  
their list (I think bloglinker is one of them). For more info, visit:

3. If you haven't already contacted them, let blogspot.com know so  
they can investigate any server penetration and work on it from their  
end.

Good luck,
Kimo
