This afternoon we see what is possibly another hacking attempt on Google Trends.
Apparently, the number 5 most-searched-for query on Google is the following (click to enlarge)…
So what exactly is…
“hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha”?
Well, we’re not sure yet. The last few times Google Trends has been hacked, it has usually been in the form of a little harmless fun from the 4chan group.
In checking around for the phrase above, I came across one comment on this blog post…

…made by user rhuitron.
There certainly doesn’t seem to be anything overly nefarious about him or the comment at this point so I can’t be sure they are related.
Please post in the comments if you have any other info on this.
