Google's official blog hacked
Unknown hackers broke into Google’s official blog and posted a fake message there that Google stops testing click-to-call service.
The “click-to-call” service (phone calls that are initiated by clicking on a banner) is an additional AdWords service and is currently being tested. Recently, Google signed an agreement with eBay , according to which they may merge their click-to-call systems.
Google representatives commented on the incident very dryly. They said that hacking was possible because of a hole in the Blogger engine. The bug was quickly eliminated, and the fake message was removed.

Nevertheless, the fake news managed to disperse on the Internet under the guise of this. This can be perceived as the first bell about the big fakes that will become possible in the future. Their goal may be manipulation of stock prices or provocation.
