Blogger PWNS Russian Who Hacked His Blog
The justinsomnia.org blog was HACKED AND HIJACKED on August 8, and used for "displaying search engine spam to search engine bots only." The blog was still there, but the search engines were no longer able to index it. Justin's traffic plummeted. But Justin leveraged a contact at Google and good Sherlock skills to track down and prove who did it: A Russian named Vadim Smelyansky. Justin then posted links to Smelyansky's Linked-In page, his personal and professional pages, his address and phone number, and much more. Here's the whole story.

Heh - this is a sweet story. Pity it's so rare to actually grab the culprit like this though.
