Google’s Blogger Has A Huge Vulnerability!

Here’s a quick timeline of what’s been going on with the shifting of this site off of Blogger.

The way that the site has been set up since November of 2004 is that Google has hosted all of the content at ctownbochur.blogspot.com while ctownbochur.com simply forwarded you over to the content of ctownbochur.blogspot.com.

This past Friday, Google’s robots decided that ctownbochur.blogspot.com was a spam blog, with just a robot running it. (I wish I had a robot running the site-then I’d be able to take a true vacation!) They locked the site, and I was unable to make or change any posts.

I immediately decided to flip the switch and have ctownbochur.com forward over to dansdeals.com and to migrate all of the posts and comments over to dansdeals.com.

Additionally, I also filed a challenge to Google about their blacklisting of my site, and asked them to remove it asap.

By Saturday Google deleted ctownbochur.blogspot.com. Anyone who went to that address received a “page not found” error.

The really scary thing is that from Saturday until today, ANYONE COULD HAVE TAKEN ctownbochur.blogspot.com AND MADE THEIR OWN SITE WITH THE NAME.

After spending a small fortune calling Google from my cell phone in Israel to get them to fix the problem, they finally restored ctownbochur.blogspot.com today.

What would have happened if someone had taken over the name during the duration that the site was deleted?
Who knows!
