Broken link hijacking (BLH) is a type of web attack which exploits external links that are no longer valid. Mainly due to an expired domain. The link content can be replaced and redirected, used to deface, impersonate, or even launch cross-site (XSS) scripting attacks.

Reviews

Simple yet powerful

I can’t believe no one has reviewed this plugin yet. This is my favorite RSS reader plugin for WordPress. The design is simple (no clutter or unessasary settings). It works great too right out of the box. It also has some nice JavaScript effects.
