Obama's Twitter Account "Hacked"
Oxford_Comma_Lover writes "A 24-year-old living with his mother in France was arrested for 'hacking' into Obama's twitter accounts. (Warning: WSJ does obnoxious paywall things. Your miles may vary.) Apparently he guesses the answer to a question related to password recovery in order to break into the accounts of famous people; he has no computer science training or financial motive. He posted screenshots to a few boards and twitter found out within a few hours, either from a tip or from noticing when someone from France logs onto twitter as the President of the United States. (He did not actually tweet as POTUS, but just wanted to show he could break into the account.)"
I heard was "Let them eat cake"
I know, I was shocked that they have computers and electricity.
I was thinking "Hey guys Global Thermal Nuclear War later this afternoon... just thought you should know."

This is France. Since you don't like our language, we'll be taking it back. Please remove the word 'language' from your post. Merci.
In front of me, asleep, is a nasty dragon who needs a good beheading. As I raise my broadsword to deal the death blow, the back edge of the blade slices into the arm of my pal Eddie, who squeals, and the dragon wakes & flies away. This really pisses me off, so I put some salt on the wound to make him keep squealing, then I tell him how fat & easy his mom is. Fucking Eddie. I guess I should have used the katana.
No, no, no, he should have tweeted:
"My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you today that I have signed legislation that will outlaw France forever. We begin bombing in 5 minutes."
If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.
My grandmother hasn't been a maiden since 1910
Suuuure she was. Pretty damn 'lively' from '07-'09 if you consult the outhouse walls.
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
Why even include anything that relates to your mothers name? Why even give attackers that much? Just provide a 30 character string of random characters.
Yo, I heard you like passwords, so we're going to protect your password with another password.

That's a great idea! I'm off to the hall of records with a box of matches!
I thought the tea party movement was just a bunch of morons. Then I read this:

Now I think calling them that has just been an insult to morons.

My answer to every security question is "I fucked your mother." It goes over real well when someone has to ask you your security question over the phone. Posting anonymously because this is true.
Thanks, you're my first!
