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:

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.
