Tweeter Breach....stop being stupid ppl

What is worse then the low lifes that try to get over on people this way is the people that without thinking fall for them.
Another reason i don't follow as many tweeters like many that think having a lot makes then appear popular. I select those i want to follow.
watch their tweets for a day or so and if not a tweetaholic (tweets non stop) making popp ups on screen every second, and tweets are of interest then yes i continue to follow them.

clipped from www.downloadsquad.com Massive Twitter breach underscores the problem with "secret questions" Twitter's Evan Williams certainly isn't the first famous person to have a "secret question" figured out by a hacker, but I'm always surprised when someone in IT circles falls victim to such an elementary attack. It's not news that secret questions are a terribly bad idea for enabling password resets or protecting account information. For a question to work, the answer truly needs to be a secret. In the case of celebrities, finding an answer can be as simple as digging around their Facebook profile or fan pages. Though ultimately, the information is contained in the documents isn't the worst of it. More alarmingly, the hacker was also able to gain access to Twitter's domain registrar and the associated Gmail account. It would have been an easy step to alter the DNS servers and plunge the Twitterverse into chaos. Clearly, people really need to start paying attention Filed under: Internet, Security, web 2.0
