NFT: NY post and UPI hacked?

Jolly Blue Giant : 1/16/2015 1:37 pm

Both @UPI and @NYPost Twitter accounts have been hacked with fake breaking stories.

It seems as though the post has deleted the fake tweets, but according to UPI we were attacked by China and the pope declared world war III

Which one of you uses the same password for BBI as UPI Twitter?

Don't just assume they were hacked...

if the Chinese did actually attack they would want to keep it quiet for as long as possible.

This could just be a clever ruse.

I just realized this...wow, you are not in the best of company, my friend.

I started a thread on it this morning

I'm pretty sure this is all my fault.

Who knew it was a bad idea to store passwords in Twitter posts?
