Twitter’s high profile accounts breached again

According to the PC World reports for the second time a hacker gained administrative access to a Twitter employee's account.

An anonymous hacker going by the name of Hacker Croll posted 13 screenshots to a French online discussion forum captured while logged into the Twitter account of Jason Goldman, a director of product management at Twitter. The screenshots showed that the hacker was able to access account information belonging to such high-profile Twitter users as Britney Spears and Ashton Kutcher, and implement such changes to their profile as add or remove featured users.

Hacker Croll revealed that he had gained access to Goldman's Twitter password through his Yahoo account. The hacker said, “i've reset the password by answering to the secret question.” Consequently he found the twitter password in the Yahoo account of Goldman.

It should be noted that, Twitter has had a number of security problems this year, including the case when a hacker by the name of GMZ had accessed an administrative account by guessing the password of a Twitter support staffer. GMZ then used that access to take control of 33 high-profile accounts, including those for Spears, U.S. President Barack Obama and Fox News. Nonetheless, CEO Biz Stone had promised a "full security review of all access points to Twitter."
