Blog News: Yes, Temple Of Goo has been pwned

A few days ago the worldwide-famous online library Archive.org was hacked. The malicious action resulted in more than 31 million of users data being exposed to unknown entities who will use it… who knows how. These types of attacks do happen from time to time, but this time it was massive and aimed at one of the most utilized and cherished websites in the whole planet.

Was Temple Of Goo affected by the hack? Unfortunately, it was.

What does this mean? It means someone has the username and password that were used to log in into Archive.org, where we store all of our Goo Goo Dolls releases as part of the APP initiative.

As of this moment, the website is not accessible anymore. The Archive.org admins and developers are working hard to solve the breach. Either way, the Temple’s access keys to Archive.org are compromised and nothing can be done about it until the site is back online.

I am writing this notice to let our readers know that if in the future you happen to see something strange going on in our official Archive.org profile, it certainly will not be our doing but rather some kid in a basement having fun with it.

We will see what happens in the future. In the meantime, I suggest you head over to haveibeenpwned, the most reliable source to discover whether or not your email has been compromised, and take all the necessary precautions to avoid finding yourself in a bad situation (I’ve been there…)

Best of luck to you all out there.

Superstar Car Wash Deep Dive: The Podcast

This literally took me minutes to create. All I did was feed Google’s latest AI project NotebookLM with the more meaty blog post I have in here, which obviously is this one. A couple of clicks later, the AI had generated a full 11-minute podcast featuring a male and a female speakers having a vivid discussion about some of the trivia mentioned in the post above.

This is a sneak peek into how the coming future will look like, especially for content creators. I only fed one source as a way of testing the technology and it’s quite impressive so far. I will certainly utilize more sources in the future to create other podcast sessions, as a way to make this little blog a little more alive.

Keep in mind that NotebookLM is still in their beta phase, and it is not perfect. In fact, they get a couple of things wrong throughout the whole thing, but they manage to pretty much nail all the rest.

If you have roughly ten minutes to spare, listen to the AI-generated podcast below, as Joe and Jessica discuss what I consider to be the Goo Goo Dolls’ best effort to date.
