Celebrity Twitter Accounts Hacked

Yesterday morning, the Fox News Twitter account posted breaking news that Bill O Riley is gay. To me this is no new news at all but to everyone else this comes as a complete surprise. It turns out that several celebrities have had their Twitter accounts hijacked, accompanied of course by phony posts desecrating their “good” name.
Among the victims includes Britney Spears posting about the size of her vagina, Rick Sanchez posting about how high he is on crack and President elect Barack Obama offering free gas money for opinionated feedback. Serves those suckers right for not using Tumblr instead!




With the recent crackings of the security measures set forth in HD-DVD and Blu-ray, it is only fitting that the DRM in the upcoming release of Windows Vista is hacked. Alex Ionesu, the man who claims to have bypasses the security, has only released very vague information due to the possibility of legal actions by Microsoft. Currently, this is just a proof-of-concept, but so what? It is fairly disappointing (yet somewhat expected) that Microsoft’s so called higher security safety implemented in Vista has been fooled before it has even been launched to the public. So what part has he defeated? Ionescu has put to rest the Protected Media Path that is supposed to stop Vista from playing DRMed audio and video files. Tricky, tricky. Microsoft should be sweating bullets. — Nik Gomez
