The Anatomy Of The Twitter Attack
The Anatomy Of The Twitter Attack.

The Twitter document leak fiasco started with the simple story of personal accounts of Twitter employees being hacked. Here's how the hacker obtained the necessary information.

Very much worth reading.

Dear lotuseclat79,
Thanks! The article needed careful reading,with the hacker himself telling us what to do to escape hacking! O.K., i am gonna change passwords! That's the lesson! Beware of iTunes!

Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace are leaving people and their computers wide open to malware infestation and identity theft and various other problems. It's a mean world out there, especially if you're not careful what sites you visit and what personal information you provide.
