An Update on Twitter
27Mar10
Today I read an article in De Standaard about Twitter, which made me wonder how safe a Twitter account is. A Frenchman hacked the Twitter accounts of both President Obama and pop singer Britney Spears. It wasn’t the first time ‘Hacker Croll’ hacked some accounts. In 2009 he even got access to financial information about the Twitter website itself.
Hacker Croll stated in a personal letter to Twitter, that his actions were solely meant to bring some attention to the security weaknesses of the website.
If you know that an average of 50 million Tweets are sent out a day, security is a major concern for Twitter.
