Alan Spicer says:

So what are they going to do TWEET from all of them in a Bot Net style? Sending spam? There has to be a monetary gain behind such a thing … if not just a childish “script kiddy” kind of thing. Prove to your friends that you can hack 200,000 +Twitter accounts and you are IN the Chinese Haxor Club.

Twitter is big enough that this will be squashed rather rapidly. So it will probably just go on some Chinese hacker bravado resume …,

Thanks for the heads up. I am on Twitter … but not as often as some KIDS are. I don’t have to tell my audience when I take a sheite … or when I go to the beach. Which is rare lately unless I am working on a boat at Bahia Mar or Las Olas Docks.

This isn’t a threat to national security … I don’t think. Unless the president twitter account got compromised and they signed the Treaty of Versailles or something all over again.

The internet at large will take an aspirin and be ok in the morning.
