I was looking at GMail’s Alexa page and noticed that someone had messed with the title and description that is provided. I wasn’t sure what the 233100.com was but clicking on the link took me to GMail.com just like it should. I manually typed in the 233100.com and it was obviously some Chinese site that I couldn’t understand.
I then saw the “Edit Info” button on the Alexa page so I thought I would change it back to read “GMail”. When I clicked on it I was taken to a new page where I was to enter in the information that I want to change. I put in the information but it then wanted me to upload a file to the GMail server so that it could verify that I was the owner of the site. I obviously couldn’t do that so my question now is how did these people go about changing the title and description without uploading a file?
Odd, when I view that page there are no images and no formatting. It’s like the CSS has been disabled but I’ve never done anything like that.
