Google’s Picasa Hacked Via Security Hole Google’s Picasa was allegedgly hacked into over the weekend. Zone-H reports that Picasa was victim to a security hole in its forum. Picasa is a software for managing photos, the company has been acquired by Google earlier this year.
The picasa forum now redirects to google groups beta version, groups-beta.google.com/group/picasa , this hacking was more probable because of the security hole in their forum,A guy named Prieni asks about this in the picasa groups, Hey there,what happened to the Picasa forum? I tried to access it as per normaland got the Picasa homepage. I thought “hmm, server must be down or so”and tried again later. Now I tried it again and clicked on the Forumlink and ended up here. Very confusing. So my question is: Can we stillget into the forum? Or will this Google Group be a replacement? If so,what happens to the knowledge base reflected in the ‘old’ forum?A very confused (where are the emoticons?)Prieni
Answer from google,
Hi Prieni,
We had to take the forums down temporarily, and we wanted to give thenew Groups beta a whirl so people would have a place to go. =) Wemay return to the old forum style, or we might keep up the Group, buteither way the old data and knowledgebase should be back up onlinesoon.
I guess we’re back to retro emoticons now…astro.umd.edu/~marshall/smileys.html- how 1993!
