Google Tutor uncovered another mybloglog exploit that allow anyone to own the unclaimed communities on MBL.

1. Sign up for MBL, it only takes a second. Use bogus info for this, you can even use a bogus email, MBL doesn’t confirm anything by email so it will work.
2. Run this search at Google. This google dork will bring back all the profile pages of MBL accounts that have not been claimed by an author yet.
3. Surf to each profile and claim each blog as yours.

Google tutor has already claimed couple of famous mybloglog communities, including Matt Cutts Blog Community.

A user wrote in the comments that he took ownership of the flickr community and later changed the settings to his space on Flickr, so all users get transferred to his new community.

The best one i found is dogworld wo claimed few hundred communities as his own.

I wonder if there is any way for these blog authors to get their communities back if they ever want to integrate mybloglog.
