Summary
So how did the Twitter accounts of Barack Obama, Britney Spears, Facebook, and others get broken into and littered with inappropriate messages earlier today? It wasn’t residue from this weekend’s phishing problems, but rather, a breach of Twitter’s customer support tools.

"From the Twitter blog, “These accounts were compromised by an individual who hacked into some of the tools our support team uses to help people do things like edit the email address associated with their Twitter account when they can’t remember or get stuck. We considered this a very serious breach of security and immediately took the support tools offline. We’ll put them back only when they’re safe and secure.”" >> Different issue than the phishing

If someone can create it, someone else can find a way to hack it.
It just forces everyone to be more security minded in their dev.
