    Funny - there's no mention of Java 6 here, only Java 7.

    Why are you only looking at one vulnerability?
    As reported by Ars Technica, the 15th February, Facebook was victim of a watering hole attack, involving a “popular mobile developer Web forum“. The attack was using a Java 0day that has been urgently patched, in Oracle Java CPU of first February, by version 7 update 11 and version 6 update 39. http://eromang.zataz.com/2013/02/20/facebook-apple-twitter-watering-hole-attack-additional-informations/

    According to a French interview ( http://www.zataz.com/news/19125/Rencontre-avec-Hacker-Croll--le-visiteur-de-Twitter.html ), he did not hack Obama's account, just some random employee from Twitter. He did gain admin privileges, but he did not hack twitter; and the password recovery was from Yahoo's webmail.

    ... in order to have access to twitter accounts. First, it contacted Twitter to inform them about their security flaws, but as he wanted to be famous, he then published his "hack" and disclosed some Twitter internal information which probably explains why Twitter registered a complaint against him (source, in French).

    You don't know of enough tech sites to claim that "almost every tech site" banded together on something. No one does.
    Considering that sites like Slashdot, Heise Online, Yahoo News, Wired, C|Net News.com, Golem.de, Plastic, Aardvark, New Order, Boing Boing, pssst!, intern.de, Christianity Today, Compulenta, infoAnarchy, ZDNet.de, tech dirt, Network World Fusion, Zataz, The Straight Dope, Exmosis, The Null Device, Bob Crosley's Weblog, The Ideal Rhombus, FACTNet, Sympatico, Google Weblog, Microcontent News, Hypocrites.com, Linux Journal, ONLamp, Userland, Kuro5hin, Drudge Report and Silicon Valley (and most probably more) have mentioned the case, I'd say it's quite a good coverage. Granted, it's not exactly "almost every tech site", and they definitely haven't "banded together" or anything. They just seem to share the same concern about censorship, which isn't that uncommon.
