usernames and passwords

Hacking group "Team Swastika" released apparent Facebook usernames and passwords, but the social network says the data isn't tied to live accounts.

Notorious hacker collective “Anonymous Operations” on Sunday published data it claims to have obtained by breaching a server belonging to Apple.

The data, which consisted of 27 usernames and passwords, was allegedly taken from surveys stored on an Apple server.

Hackers have broken into a Fox.com extranet site, designed as a repository of research statistics, programming details and ratings for clients and affiliates, and stolen the emails and passwords for hundreds of Fox Broadcasting employees.

The group, which calls itself Lulz Security, then used that information to alter the LinkedIn accounts of more than a dozen Fox sales employees, tweeting each one on its @LulzSec twitter account.

I’ve never been to Bozeman, Montana, and without Google Maps, I’d have no idea where it is.

However, the city government and its employees have now been the focus of two rather bizarre social media stories to grab headlines, which has put Bozeman on my radar.

Developers and users rely on the Twitter API (Application Programming Interface) to connect the social tool to 3rd party apps like TweetDeck and Seesmic.

Thus, when there are changes, people notice -especially developers.
