I think this - "itâ€™s probably a good time to change your password" - will not work then.

So either the sentence I've quoted is wrong or they know the passwords ;-)

But if they were stealing the users' passwords, that means they were unencrypted..

The attack could have been an inside job but more likely the support tools had a vulnerability in them that didn't validate the user right.

well, it happens, once you go public you are exposed, so that's what happened i think.

Definitely an inside job. Intentionally or not. Systems are always run by
humans at the end of the day... The school scene from War Games springs to mind...

I think that everytime someone seems to call something that is clearly 'cracking' hacking instead ticks off just about every pure hacker on the web. I wish some people could get a clue that there is a difference between phishing, cracking, and hacking. Hackers, believe it or not, are most often the good guys. They help to create new programs on the web and languages that help us to do more of the kewl things that we want to do. Crackers and phishers are malicious little vermon.

Nice little free PR for Twitter, regardless. Inside job?
