Hacker Riles Mormons

Friday June 12, 2009

Yet another high profile Twitter hack - this time at the expense of the Mormons.

According to the Register, Hackers most likely exploited a weak password to pwn the @LDSChurchNews account and post some insulting messages.

By this time, it's old news that Twitter accounts are highly hackable - just ask Barack Obama. But two other issues are worth highlighting here: First, password strength is critical for any onilne account; Second organizations need to include social media in their security policies.
