Celebrity twitter accounts got hacked yesterday and the support tools had to be taken offline.
Past week,twitter was having a bad time,dealing with phishing attacks and following up with it was yesterday's celebrity account hacks(Barack Obama,Bill O Reilly,Britney spears and 30 more such accounts).
Although,the hacks came to a halt after Twitter took the support tools offline,the hackers behind it had done what they wanted to...breaching twitter's security to the best possible level.
Although many followers might have enjoyed/amused the tweets that were bubbling out from the hacked celebrity accounts,such an act has revealed the vulnerability of Twitter to a great extent.
A phishing attack(which Twitter earlier had) was more of an external attack for Twitter but such a fatal 'serial hacking' reveals more about the technical loopholes of this micro-blogging platform and might give celebrities a reason,not to opt for it as a mode of connecting with their fans/followers.
So,the next question is....What Next ?
