MyBlogLog cloaking, surf as any A-lister

MyBlogLog has been racked with security issues of late. John Chow uncovered the scandal of MyBlogLog users who are unscrupulously adding well known bloggers to their blogs list of co-authors. Perhaps a partial explanation of how the SEOs and bottom feeders of the world are pulling off these tricks comes from ShoeMoney, who explains how you can surf MyBlogLog sites as nearly anyone you wish. Imitation they say, is the sincerest form of flattery.

MyBlogLog seems to be in its uncomfortable and awkward teen-acne phase where nothing it does comes off quite as planned. The blogging community site has managed to gain amazing traction so far however, they'll need to do some serious security mea culpa cleansing ritual to wash off the stink they've acquired in recent weeks.

Update : The security hole which allowed this trick to work has been closed, and in fact was closed at the time of our first posting. Thanks to Eric from MyBlogLog for straightening us out!
