First, Cassandra (see post below)
now, Xiaxue...
"I need your help, my smart blog readers. This hacker deleted all 3,000 emails of mine, as well as all my blog entries of 2 years. This is very serious. He could have copies of all my emails, which contain private and sometimes classified information about companies as well as individuals."
Xiaxue's site has been hacked and the hacker(s) did quite an amount of damage. I would think that her password was compromised during the bloggers' conference last weekend. Wireless access comes at a higher security risk. So for those who surf at Starbucks or McDonald's, please do so with caution. And the catchword for this IT-not-so-savvy generation is: BACKUP
Looks like bloggers in 1984-ville are not having a good day...
*update* - wonktong's site has been hit, too. It's up and running now. There's a very bored kid out there.
