No, but yes. :lol:

It COULD be fake IF someone had used the bug to hack the server, steal the details and get their password database. Crack it, log into their blog and THEN write the fake article :lol:

:lol: :lol:

It's just a normal blog and not on a secure page (at least the blog - so that part isn't affected). They might have a login to the blog that's https that's got a bad cert, so that would then be vulnerable to the attack.

In the end, you ignore everything and click "I agree".
