Some weeks ago, Twitter was hacked.

Some prick thought he was cool and launched a dictionary attack on Twitter’s login page. He managed to brute force his way into the admin account. Prick!

I’m not calling him a prick because he hacked a site or because he broke hacker ethics. I’m calling him a prick because he had access to all twitter accounts, chose to tweet in Obama’s name, could write anything he wanted, and all he could come up with was: ‘get your free gas coupon’
You pimple-faced, sixteen-year-old, stupid prick!

Now, I just read a nice article whose title read:  DDoS attack boots Kyrgyzstan from net. Here’s the article:

In short, some Russians were bored and decided to take!a!whole!country!off!the!internet!
You hear that, prick?
