Twitter Hacked – 250,000 User Accounts Potentially Compromised
I really don't like how they decided to release this on a friday afternoon. I know exactly why they did it, and why it is a smart PR move but it also means two things:<p>- People's accounts might have been compromised earlier "this week" and they could have used that extra warning time to make sure the damage didn't spread to their other online accounts.<p>- People who might have been compromised are now less likely to see the announcement, so if anything is compromised there's less chance they will react to mitigate damages.<p>Great for PR, horrible for their users.
