For the second time this year, a hacker claims to have gained administrative access to a Twitter employee’s account.
On Wednesday, an anonymous hacker going by the name of Hacker Croll posted 13 screenshots to a French online discussion forum, apparently captured while logged into the Twitter account of Jason Goldman, a director of product management with Twitter.
According to the screenshots, Hacker Croll was able to access account information belonging to high-profile Twitter users such as Britney Spears and Ashton Kutcher. The hacker could also do things such as add or remove featured users, who are suggested to new Twitter members when they sign up.
Hacker Croll claimed to have accessed Goldman’s Twitter password by first gaining access to his Yahoo account. "One of the admins has a yahoo account, i’ve reset the password by answering to the secret question. Then, in the mailbox, i have found her [sic] twitter password," Hacker Croll said Wednesday in a posting to an online discussion forum. "I’ve used social engineering only, no exploit, no xss vulnerability, no backdoor, np sql injection."
