The Matt Cutts Blog Gets hacked.
This is what currently displaying on his blog:
Dark SEO Team has had a bit of a spat with Google's Matt Cutts from back in 2005 over URL hijacking. Looks like they've pulled a dirty one on Matt.
Matt's upgrade of WordPress installation from 2.0.x to 2.1.x was already giving him problems.
I think this could be an april fools joke. With Matt being away from his computer until Monday, you might see the screen above for awhile on his blog.
Update, Update:
The story has become a little more unbelievable now. Seemingly, Matt Cutts has gone ahead and hacked the site of his hackers. Here is the screenshot:
The message left on the site ends with a nasty "All your backlinks are belong to us!" However, is this an April Fool gimmick or a serious cross-hacking war? If it were real hacking, Matt's site should have been fixed by now, at least. And if it is not real hacking, hats off to Matt for making everyone so clueless.
