Twitter Phishing

[nihil]

Here is some more: it would seem that Twitter just has crap security....... a dictionary attack on an Admin's account No limit on login attempts............OMG!

A hacker called 'GMZ' launched a basic dictionary-based attack on the Twitter account for 'Crystal', a Twitter administrator, and successfully cracked the account's password, according to the email.

Backs up what Linen0ise suggested. If you crack an admin's password then it would look like an inside job.
