On my previous article, I simply praise Twitter to their indigenous work, having the idea of sharing information. But wait! My favorite site have blunder. The world renowned Twitter had been rumored to be hack by certain hacker according to an article that I had read on PC World, yay! Too bad!
Twitter and its company’s inside documents and sensitive data had been possessed by a French Hacker named Hacker Croll. The cybercriminal declare to have accessed on sensitive information regarding complete employee list and salary information, including their transaction on PayPal, Amazon, AT&T, MobileMe, Facebook, Nokia, Samsung, Dell, AOL, Microsoft, Gmail accounts, contact list of notable Web and entertainment personalities, meeting reports, applicant resumes, the original pitch for the infamous Twitter TV show and the Web registrar account for Twitter.com.
The alleged security breach became known when, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams confirmed the hacker gained access to his wife’s Gmail account where some his credit card information was stored as well as an administrative employee’s Gmail account and a number of personal accounts of other Twitter employees. Williams says Hacker Croll did not gain access to William’s Gmail account, and that Twitter has now taken further security measures to guard company property and internal documents.
Well I thought the hacker gained inside access through the usual way of hacking such as filtering and rebuffing firewall. Ethical hacker also known as computer security experts or white hat, which specialize in penetration testing, is what they need. But with the company like Twitter, they know better!

Figured an Internet Service as large as twitter would have better network security but no company is invulnerable.
you are definitely correct!security should be developed as time passes by because hacker might develop an advance hacking system that does not know by security admin.
