So what happens when such a blog gets ummm, altered, by someone else posing as the CEO? Script kiddy for hire includes some carefully crafted statements that panic investors and the stock tanks. Within hours everyone is aware of the "hacked web site" and the stock price has returned to normal... but not before shares are sold in volume and quickly bought up by some who had buy-orders in for weeks.
