Twitter on the Internal Documents

Twitter has published a blog post commenting on the internal documents that are running on TechCrunch. They were obtained through an email hack on an administrative employee’s account, which in turn gave access to Twitter’s Google Apps account. They are stressing the fact that it was personal security that faltered, not Google Apps, but it still points a finger to one of the dangers of data in the cloud. No user accounts are compromised either, and naturally there’s legal actions from Twitter’s side.

Meanwhile, TechCrunch and others are having a field day with the income prognosis report, security issues and the fact that these documents are out in the open in the first place. And naturally it all boils down to a Valleywag post on the twitterati’s response to the breach.

That poor administrative employee will probably stick to better passwords in the future, eh?

    I guess the Twitter guys are going to have to beef up their projections to beat their old estimates. How says these files are really accurate?

    Nice Post. I am a computer engineer and I am working in a consulting management firm. Video conferencing equipments are highly preferred in our office as we have frequent meetings with our clients and personnel in other locations. I will be looking forward for more updates.

    Anyways, I think the next movie should have something to do with the Illuminati and some sort of conspiracy having to do with the creation of the US. This would make sense because the Illuminati supposedly started in 1776.

    I have observed that sensible real estate agents all around you are getting set to FSBO Promotion. They are seeing that it’s more than simply placing a sign in the front property. It’s really concerning building connections with these suppliers who one of these days will become customers. So, after you give your time and energy to helping these retailers go it alone – the “Law connected with Reciprocity” kicks in. Interesting blog post.
