TWITTER WAS HACKED



Guys how many of u have a twitter account certainly i do and do all of u think its safe. Twitter was hacked indeed it was hacked on 4th of July the American independence day and the account of FOX NEWS was hacked and it was tweet that the president of America BarackObama was dead. the FOX NEWS informed it to the U.S. Secret Service which is responsible for the physical safety of the president.

The experts in security research said that when compared to other sites like facebook and google twitter is very easy to hack and vulnerable.Twitter simply allows the users commune with the site using a common decoded link, which can make it easier for possible hackers to whip the passwords.Twitter could have stopped itself being hacked if it had a Two-factor authentication. FOX NEWS blames twitter for hacking the account.













The actual tweet contained the following quote "@BarackObama has just passed. The President is dead. A sad 4th of July, indeed. President Barack Obama is dead."The tweets were online for nine hours for the time it was posted. The attack was on a verified Twitter account. one of that Twitter account was of an verified person or an company. FOX NEWS wants an detailed investigation on how its account was hacked and they twitter was responsible.

Twitter may not be responsible at all like the attacker could have got the password from FOX NEWS simply and could have logged in and so Twitter say the blame is on FOX own feet. But anyways Twitter was hacked guys be careful with your twitter accounts i suggest u to use an e-mail id of your own domain if u dont have one use the two-factor authentication system. so guys hope i gave u some useful information have fun.
