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:- 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.- 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.Great for PR, horrible for their users.
