14 DAY TRIAL // It was recently reported that Google's blogging technology Blogger was attacked by a Trojan horse that compromised numerous blogs hosted by the Mountain View company but the search giant's representatives never confirmed it. The Blogger team posted a message on the official blog of the service in order to clarify the issue and to sustain that the main blogging technology was not affected since the Trojan horse attacked only the pages.
"Blogger was not compromised. Instead, the blog posts are from bloggers whose machines were compromised by a Trojan horse. These bloggers had their mail2blogger email addresses in their computers' address books (a perfectly legitimate use case), so when the malicious software spammed every address in their address book with its content, a copy of that email was posted to their blog," the Blogger team wrote.
If you didn't hear about it, the Blogger threat attempted to infect the users by encouraging them to click on some malicious links which redirected them to an infected file. Usually, the dangerous blogs contained the following messages: "dude what if your wife finds this", "sheesh man what are you thinkin", "man your insane", and "site:blogspot.com". You can read more about this threat in this article.
Obviously, the Mountain View company is currently working to repair the affected blog but as usual, you're encouraged to keep your virus definitions up to date and to avoid clicking on untrusted link. "We are in the process of notifying impacted bloggers and recommending that they scan their computers and run current anti-virus software, available in the Google Pack. This is also good advice for all computer users, especially those who may have clicked the links in the emails sent by the virus."
