RSS Thread Hacked?

Smugmug -

I think your RSS thread/feed might have been hacked. It's showing up as ads for Doxycycline, etc. -- or at least it is on my computer.

Let me know if you'd like a screenshot.

What feed please? Specifically and exactly? Thanks.

The links lead to the correct articles on smug, but the headers are clearly whacked.

I'm using Netvibes. Smug is the only feed showing up this way.

No issue here for me with that feed.

I have noticed something similar recently! When I have googled some smugmug related things, the title of the google search results is talking about prozac, or other random drugs.

That's wild. I don't see it in my feed either (IE8)http://blogs.smugmug.com/release-notes/feed/
but I do see that it appeared in the cached Google results from the 9th Dec but not in the current page if you click though. Again it wasn't in my feed for that day

It also appears in a twitter result for Smugmug when you search for the release notes.

Thanks for posting this. I was starting to think that I had lost my mind.

I'm using Netvibes as well, and see the spam messages. I wonder if it's a Netvibes bug?

I don't know what the cause of this is, but if it shows on Google as well, I don't think that it's a Netvibes issue.

We're still looking into it from our end.

I reported it to Netvibes and got an email this morning that it had been resolved. Looks good now.
