👉 Bloggers Missiles, also known as Blogger Bombing or Blogger Hacks, refers to a series of coordinated attacks in 2016 where numerous bloggers and independent publishers were hacked, primarily targeting their blogging platforms. These attacks involved the deployment of malware, often through compromised email accounts, which allowed hackers to gain unauthorized access and control over the bloggers' websites. The primary goal was to disrupt the online presence of these bloggers, who often have smaller audiences and less robust security measures compared to larger media outlets. The attacks led to the loss of content, website downtime, and significant reputational damage for many bloggers. This incident highlighted the vulnerabilities of blogging platforms and the importance of robust cybersecurity measures for independent online content creators.
