A curious Google's mistake :)

Also on a big company like Google there's someone that makes little "disasters"...

Some days ago Google's Official Blog appeared hacked by someone, but the real things was different (as admitted by Google itself): "We've determined the cause of tonight's outage. The blog was mistakenly deleted by us (d'oh!) which allowed the blog address to be temporarily claimed by another user. This was not a hack, and nobody guessed our password. Our bad."

In summary, for an error, someone inside Google has deleted the blog, so a user (Trey Philips, after having found the 404 "Not Found" HTTP error) has tryed to register again the blog, with success. This was the result:

Someone inside Google now has to pay a penalty...
