July 15, 2009 at 13:05Biggest Theft Of Corporate Twitter Documents
For the second time this year, hackers gained access to the Twitter administrative account, having learned the password of one of the company’s employees (other passwords were opened, including from the mailboxes of the company's executives). An attacker under the nickname Hacker Croll took full advantage of the opportunities. Reportedly, a large archive of confidential documents, some of which are publicly available, has been downloaded from the corporate Twitter network. For example, here or here you can familiarize yourself with the documents yourself (these are the primary sources, in the near future these servers will be overloaded), we publish something under the habrakat. The leadership of Twitter, by the way, has already confirmed the fact of a hacker attack and the authenticity of these files.
Of course, the principles of journalistic ethics do not allow us to publish here all the information from these documents, including a list of employees and their salaries, passwords for combination locks in the office rooms and the names of all employees who were interviewed for the position of managers (secretly from their real employer). However, there are documents that it makes sense to publish, especially since some foreign bloggers have already done so .
For example, here are estimates of the size of the user base from the Twitter business plan: 25 million users by the end of 2009, 100 million by the end of 2010 and 350 million by the end of 2011. Planned revenues are also indicated there. Profit is planned to be received from certified accounts, as well as from contextual advertising (AdSense widget and advertising tweets).
In addition, details about the television show, which is planned to be shot on American TV in the near future, became known. It turns out that the participants of this reality show will participate in contests live (solve puzzles) using their Twitter followers. The main prize is $ 100,000 (you can share with followers).
Here is a list of new "star" accounts that will open on Twitter in the coming days.
And here is the planned design of branded T-shirts and caps, which should be available soon.
