Celebrity Twitter Accounts Hacked!

What started with just one twitter account has now reached many celebrities such as Britney Spears, Bill O’Reilly, President Elect Obama and many more.

My guess is they’re just finding out about it now, and realizing their password, which was probably “password,” has been changed. Twitter will promptly restore the account to its rightful owners, I’m sure. But here’s my question – if you’ve had your Twitter account hacked, how long did it take you to get it back?

It turns out that Computer Nerds have a sense of humor.

Via Tech Crunch.

Update: Bill O Riley is gay and Rick Sanchez (That guy from CNN) won’t be making it to work today,

i am high on crack right now might not be coming into work today

That is all.

Update 2: According to those debbie-downers at CNet it was caused by one hacker and Rick Sanchez, sober, did make it into work today. Read more.

Gear Live claims 1.1.3 Firmware, Wants more readers

First, I suggest watching their video, it will help you understand why I am calling BS.  

  I don’t buy it. First it’s a hacked version of the iPhone, look at the carrier name in the upper left. Second, when he moves it over to a new page, did you count the dots? There are 3 pages, What could be on that other page? Maybe installer, and the other apps he is trying to hide? Third, when the phone crashed it had the same effect as a hacked iPhone crashing which is just quiet odd.

What I’m trying to say is take everything with a grain of salt. There are 3rd party applications, which run on a hacked iPhone, to allow you to move your apps around. I’m sure this is not any sort of firmware update, it is simply an illusion for the sake of gaining more readers and more hits.

And the laymen’s version:  Somebody hacked that iPhone, hid all the hacked applications on the 3rd home screen (notice the dots) and installed some software to fool people into believing that this is the 1.1.3 update. This is not very hard, in fact if you were running the 1.1.1 version of the firmware, it takes about 2 minutes to “hack” the iPhone.

iPhone is a buzzword, Gear Live wants hits, readers, and money. Make sense?
