Hack Attack Hits Home for AP Writer

Having your Twitter account hacked is not news, I repeat…NOT news. Well, unless you are an Associated Press writer, then it is headline news and schmucks like me repost it.

So you can imagine how bummed I was last week — and how violated I felt — when I discovered someone had nabbed my Twitter feed and fired off about 100 tweets in a matter of minutes. Most of it was gibberish about drug charges, sex, the Galaxy Tab and Stephen Hawking.
