Could someone explain, how you hack a Twitter account?
I mean, you either hack Twitter(and would have access to all accounts or at least, the ones with bad passwords) or you try something on the user-site e.g. keylogger.
Is there a third way?

Unfortunately sometimes it's as simple as them leaving the account logged in at a hotel or losing their phone...

Other times it's malware-produced 'hacking'

Invasion of privacy and it's indirectly linked to bitcoin. I wouldn't want that publicity

Yeah. Me too, it make Bitcoin reputation lower. In TV shows it always mention Bitcoin in a bad way. Hopefully, there will be a show which help Bitcoin.

Also, I dont think they have her private photos. If they have, someone would have bought from them by now.

Due to the fact that bitcoin is a virtual currency it makes it easier to launder and receive funds without physical contact.
It's no longer a "put the money in the briefcase situation"...

You could bruteforce the account, but Twitter hasn't learned its lesson if it thinks Taylor Swift forgot her password and tried to login 9123891723 times...

I was under the impression that every big website would be protected against simple brute force ...

The hack could be real, it's not that hard to do if you have the time and skills. I wonder if she has some nude pics there like Jennifer Lawrence

Watch as all the news outlets accuse Bitcoin of harboring criminals.

Private photos of Taylor Swift for Bitcoin. The keyword here is 'Bitcoin'. Well.. the hackers claimed to have Taylor Swift private photos after hacking into her Twitter and Instagram account. Not sure if it were real or fake.. but.. saw this on The Verge.

What do you think? Private photos for Bitcoin? What are the hacker trying to do? Will they attack Bitcointalk Twitter next? - they attacked Malaysia Airline twitter yesterday. Let discuss!
