Twitter admin password is “Happiness”
Jan 8th, 2009 by David
The hacker, who goes by the handle GMZ, said he gained access to Twitter’s administrative control panel by using a brute-force dictionary password cracker. Fortunately for him, the user turned out to be a member of Twitter’s admin, who’d chosen the weak password “happiness.
Twitter has got very serious security loopholes.
- First no password protection for continuous retried attempts.
- Second, what kind of admins would have used such a dictionary password.
Anyway, it was a fun for hackers community as they got the glimpse of famous celebrity such as Obama, Britney and even Fox News official account.
