It just feels sad that even blogs and other “intellectual propeties” could be stolen and could lead to a devastating experience for the blogger. I highly commend this post since it highly promotes the idea of having a secured blog so that hackers would be off limits in intruding the property of a blogger…I hope hackers would never ever crack again the security stuffs that bloggers could use.

I have heard a lot about keyloggers. Is antivirus alone sufficient to prevent keyloggers from being installed? Is there any program or software out there that can scan the existence of keyloggers in our computer?

Wow, this is a wake up call.. I never knew the gmail security flaw.. and I use free email for all domain stuff… crap… I need to rethink my strategy there!… I was fixated on reading the story of stolen domain and then getting it back.. Great post and follow up stories.

Mike, Gerardo,

No need to apologise whatsoever. Just thought I’d offer a little extra info about my experience.

All the best.

Hello David,

GMAIL Security Hack was an exploit. An exploit is a piece of software code that takes advantage of a vulnerability in another piece of software, in this case it was GMAIL, it was a bug in GMAIL that was later fixed when it started happening to other people, not just you. And the link that it sent you to the site also dropped a backdoor which is an infected site and drop trojans (known as a exploited site) on your computer that can almost be any security risk (trojan, virus, spyware, keylogger, dialer, dropper, etc). Sorry about not mentioning that in the post, I will help anyone who needs help, please go to the Bloggin-Ads forum and contact me there.
