The internet is weird

The internet is weird. O.K. – I mean I don’t get it sometimes. I have a blog powered by ‘blogger’ – as much as anything to keep up with the technology. Note the address is on my own domain at tomanthony.com/blog – My original web address for the blog and the way it is accessed by blogger is tomanthony.blogspot.com – and apparently it has been compromised – it looks like a malicious java script. How it got in there is what I don’t know – but it’s a statement in itself.
Just like the rest of the world there are good people and bad people in cyberspace. The bad people range from really high level engineers working for unfriendly foreign governments to network engineers who get a kick out of breaking something – like web site security. The latter does not realize that the mess they cause is financially damaging – because someone has to fix it – and time is lost in the process.
I reported the issue to the folks at blogger this morning – I’ll post the results. By the way – Thanks to Joe Cipriano for noticing!
