The Matt Cutts Blog Gets Hacked

Danny Sullivan on March 31, 2007 at 10:55 pm

The Dark SEO Team has had a bit of
a beef with Google’s Matt Cutts

from back in 2005 over URL hijacking. Looks like they’ve pulled a prank on
him today. Matt’s blog is down, hacked — and archives wiped out as well. Matt
has posted previously to this about the site being slow (post gone, but you can
see his Twitter comment
here) and heading offline
through Monday, so you might be seeing the screen above for awhile.

FYI, be sure to check out CuttsCon, that I
posted about
earlier.
