Reading a story on how an attacker broke into the administrative interface to twitter was the following quote: "One of the admins has a yahoo account, i've reset the password by answering to the secret question. Then, in the mailbox, i have found her twitter password." Social engineering and good guessing trumps security every time. Twitter have confirmed the intrusion, so sad but true. No hacking necessary. I could probably rant for hours on the subject, but most of you know the story. Enough said. Cheers, |

Yes, we know the story. And again, too much spending in security, and at the end the human factor is out of control by the policies!
