Google's Official Blog Hacked

Later Google removed that post and explained here that it was a bug in Blogger that enabled the unauthorized user to make a fake post on their official blog.

A bug in Blogger enabled an unauthorized user to make a fake post on the Google Blog last night, claiming that we’ve discontinued our AdWords click-to-call test. The bug was fixed quickly and the post removed. As for the click-to-call test, it is progressing on schedule, and we’re pleased with the results thus far.
