Here’s something scary: Blogger got hacked on Christmas. Blogger is a very user-friendly web service that lets you write an ongoing personal journal or weblog (like this page). It keeps your account details and the entries you write in a central server, and then uploads the updates to your web site with FTP. The scary bit about their server being hacked is the claim that the hacker might have gotten hold of the user names and passwords for people’s FTP accounts. I would feel all smug about using blogging software that runs locally, except that before that, I had a Blogger account…
Anyway, I just changed my password.
