Matt Cutts hacked?
March 31st, 2007 by Joost SchrierI don’t know if this is an April Fools action or real, but it does look pretty real on the face of it. Matt Cutts’ blog got hacked, apparently by a group of French “SEOs” who call themselves the “Dark Seo Team” (you can deduce the URL yourself).
Strange thing though; the apparent hackers don’t mention it on their own website. You’d think they’d mention it if they also so blatantly put it on Matt’s homepage. Beside this, these guys are French so they would have done it somewhere around 05 AM local time in France. On a saturday night most people are either asleep or drunk around that time. So, maybe it is an April Fools stunt and everybody can rest easy. If not, good luck Matt!
Matt’s last post was about him complaining that his website got slow because of a lot of GET requests. A coincidence? I don’t know….
Update 4/2: today Matt admitted that it was an April Fool’s stunt.
