Why Websites/Blogs NEED contact information
http://www.alabamabowhunter.com has been hacked - and I'd love to let them know, if I could.
I just followed a PayPal phishing attack, and there is some kind of "harvesting" script running on their website. I'm assuming they are a bunch of decent good ole boys like myself and not involved in cybercrime.
Well, I just spent about 10 minutes figuring out how to contact them, with no luck. Sorry guys/gals/whatever, I tried to help but it's too hard.
Moral: Have some kind of contact info readily available on any site. This is only one example of why. Hey, even uberblogger Robert Scoble posts his personal cell phone number, and answers it!!
