Very early this morning somebody posted an entry to Protein Wisdom touting “online reputation management.” The body of the post included the URL reputationmanagementdeluxe.com (unlinked) while the end of the post included a link to internetreputationmanagement.com, apparently a competitor. Personally I suspect somebody wanting to damage both sites, since the inclusion of one’s own URL in a hack designed to make it look like a competitor hacked a third party’s site, wouldn’t speak well of the perpetrator’s intelligence. My last comment on that post pointed this out, just minutes before the post vanished and Jeff apparently reclaimed control of his site.
Then the hacker struck again, a couple of hours ago, and at least a couple of posts have been deleted. It remains to be seen whether the siege has ended or if there is more to come.
For all that Jeff has been lamenting his alleged irrelevance, this attack seems to suggest otherwise.
