WTF?!

[rivka]

Someone has hacked my old blog and, apparently, taken it over.

They posted something today. It's about HIV, but it's not written by me. They have edited the page to take down some of my information - like the e-mail contact I was using - and they've added some random links to the bottom that make me wonder if they're planning to turn the blog into a link farm. They've also removed the Haloscan comments, unless those disappeared for some unrelated reason.

I don't know how to log into the blog anymore - Blogger's interface has changed enough times that I don't seem to have the capability to access the Dashboard anymore. And whoever did this probably reset the e-mail account and everything in any case. That's what I would have done.

What do I do?

Rivka, is your LJ email checked on a regular basis? There's a guy at Blogger that I reached out to, but I didn't want to give him any kind of contact info that wasn't already public.

Whoops! Sorry: it's Moe.

I know who moeticae is!

Yes, rivka@livejournal.com forwards directly to my personal account. And I would be so grateful if you could vouch for me in this. Thank you. What's been haunting me is that I don't see any reason why anyone at Blogger would believe me over whoever it is who is now using the account, especially when it's been so long that I don't even for-sure remember what e-mail used to control the account &etc.

So vouched; email forwarded.

And don't thank me: thank the VRWC. :)

You mean other than the hundreds of people who know it's yours? Some of them well-known?
