Be careful out there people! twitter hacking seems to be all the rage right now, and the BBC tech correpsondent, Rory Cellan Jones has just had his account hacked: see censored picture below.

Not good at all. The picture was taken down almost immediately thank goodness. You can see his reaction,the same reaction that anyone would have. Shock and horror at what had just occurred.

This is going to highlight password security once again, and because of Rory being part of the BBC, and very well know in the twitterverse, will receive a lot of attention. I think it is high time that we ll check out passwords and perhaps for twitter / twitpic to bring in a compulsory password change after a period of time. Perhaps this would help.
