SEO Blogs Under Hack Attack

First Graywolf’s blog was hacked, then I just found Stuntdubl has gone down when I was about to send some link love his way. I’ll hold that for tomorrow. They’re not the only ones. The culprit is over here and writes (NOTE: Links no longer work as this WordPress hosted account was promptly suspended for violating the terms of service):
My name is XXX. I am XXX years old, I live in XXX and I’m what some people might call a “computer geek”.
In-real-life I study and own a web development studio. Online I’m a well known white hat SEO. You can find me at v7n, threadwatch, webmasterworld, digitalpoint and reading stuff from blogs like personified, copyblogger & seomoz (In fact I’m a moderator at one or two of those forums!) I love to help newbie’s on forums, movies and long walks on the beach… I have an “evil” alter ego called F—ingPirate.
F—ingPirate loves racking, warez, black hat stuff and general mayhem F—kingPirate hangs out at IRC and spends all his bandwidth downloading torrents and yet-another asian porn video. As you might noticed, this site to my dark side…
What I’m going to do?
I’m going to crack all the SEO related sites/blogs/forums that I can… Maybe once in a while a non-SEO site will slip into the list but what the hell! Who cares anyways?
And he’s been doing it to some so far that are on his list, WordPress blogs through an apparent exploint described here. Discussion has kicked off over at Threadwatch and DigitalPoint.
