Matt Cutts’s blog is hacked ? or is it an April 1st joke again, as Google got us used to… :)

If this is indeed a hack, apparently, it’s a Romanian hacking team :(.

Matt Cutts Hacked

Still, the move seems pretty prepared.

Thanks for the tip Michael M..

Update: Matt now “hacked” the “hacking team’s website”. Way to go Matt :)

Of course I’m lying when I make everyone believe that content is King.
Of course black hat SEO and spamdexing are the only Kings.
Google is just a stupid algorithm relying on spammy backlinks.
But you guys had no right to let everyone know. That’s why I defaced your bloody DST site. To show the entire world how evil a white hat can be.

In fact, I’m as evil as my employer ;-)
All your backlinks are belong to us !

Update, thanks to Eric.

I’m sure he would’ve fixed it by now if it was for real. His site has been “defaced” last night, so it’s already been a good 16 hours since then. Plenty of time to take action, if the threat was real.

Watching these guys on April Fools is becoming like watching tv ads on Super Bowl Sunday!

I love it!

Matt Cutts revealed it to be a hoax, his blog is back online. I must agree though that this was one of the best hoaxes this Fool’s Day has seen. Not even Gmail Paper came close to it.
