Google Group hacked again?

August 26, 2008

Now this is a shame..shame on a company which holds pretty much all information about us.

After Google India’s Labs site, another Google group – Barcamp Ahmedabad has been hacked [link:highly nsfw,nsfs].

Hackers, it seems have got the better of Google and the company doesn’t seem to do anything about it – worst, there was no blogpost/acknowledgement about the hack (origin etc) on any of Google’s official blogs.

Looks like the entire Google Group is up for hacks and hope user credentials don’t get compromised.

Update: The issue has been fixed (as always, with no apologies/acknowledgement from Google).

    Hey, at least it’s back on track. There is no doubt there will be some mishaps here and there. No one, not even technology, is perfect. Google has come a long way and there is a reason why they’re at the position they’re at right now. When they see a problem, they last thing they’ll ever do is to ignore it. Like I said, everyone will stumble upon a problem somewhere down the line.
