I expected him to blabber about the way he did it. But seems the guy is a real matured hacker, and did it to access his own account.
My Conversation WIth GoogleSo Prior to this post. I informed all that i had to hack into my account back to be able to make postings. Apparently, i didnt do the hacking process quite well because Google(the owners of blogspot) were notified through their server process about some tweaking that went on at so so date. I didnt think this was gonna happen but it did and now i have to face the consequences.
I’m not allowed to publish the mail because it says all that BS about confidentiality and shit but in summary, it mentions a part in the constitution about illegal entry some computer law which was signed by George W himself. Anywayz i cooperated with them and gave them all the necessary information on how i was able to penetrate through their highly secure software. THey were pretty impressed even though i didnt get in through my technical expertise but rather, a minor flaw in their server technology that i read about last semester. I was warned and i promised not to talk about it or reveal the letter if not i could be charged with section bullshit of the US constitution(like i’m not going to be in my counttry soon). To end everything they informed me that i could enter into some competition for programmers called “Summer of Codes” http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html
Hum i am quite impressed, that he didnt try to prove stubborn, and he was mature about the whole scenario. Google Inc is quiet friendly, if it were another organisation, i guess he would be arrested by now. But is there a possibility of future occurence?
You are lucky you did it to some young guys (Larry & Co) if you try that with Bill & Ballmer you will have the whole of CIA and InterPol after you.

Well, that kid definitely has some balls! I’m no geek, but I learnt that gmail and blogger are easy to hack into. So says a little birdie, don’t ask me where that birdie flew from.
Seriously now, Kayode, you don’t really expect him to blabber about HOW he got into the system now do ya? hehehe…
ps, I’ve linked you to my blog, and there’s nothing you can do about it. har har har
