Could it be that we pissed off someone somewhere recently on this blog? It certainly seems so.
In the last 2 days Zee’s email accounts and my Twitter account have been hacked. Zee is still working on fixing his stuff.
I was able to change my Twitter password pretty fast and take back control over the account. Unfortunately the hackers haven’t given up. This is what Twitter told me this morning:
Looks like your account was compromised and then suspended. I show multiple login attempts.
After that I received a new password (64 character hexadecimal) which won’t be easy to guess. But you can imagine my surprise when I logged into Twitter yesterday evening and saw this:
Unfortunately Zee is still locked out of some of his emailaccounts. I hope the damage stays limited to Twitter and email but if you see something out of the ordinary here at The Next Web blog do let us know.
Any idea how your accounts (both email and twitter) were hacked?
I wish you the best of luck getting your stuff back!
Ooops ! this is really a nasty blow. Hope you come out of this attack pretty well and smart. In b/w whats the primary reason under this attack. I mean to say how has been the attack framed. Is this bcz of some wrong coding in the website or typing yours acct details on some third party hack tools which led you to such an attack. Can you clarify here?
damnit, what a bunch of assholes doing this to you. good luck, hope you can fix it all and this blows over soon!
Wow, that sucks.
I’m getting several attempts of password hack on my Twitter account lately. Guess it has to do with the people trying to get ahold of my handle @David
Amen.
Wouldn’t be surprised if I were you….8 out of 10 of your articles are about Twitter.
You used to have a better approach on the Web 2.0
