Could someone explain, how you hack a Twitter account?
I mean, you either hack Twitter(and would have access to all accounts or at least, the ones with bad passwords) or you try something on the user-site e.g. keylogger.
Is there a third way?
Bruteforce w/ rainbow tables would do it.
Also, it baffles me as to why someone would actually pay money for someones photos. I mean in all seriousness, I would prefer to pay nothing and watch/look at porn that is better and probably chicks that are more sexy then a celebrity's photo that is most likely photoshopped. I guess some folks have fetishes that they just can't control XD
You need the password hash to use a rainbow table. So, the Twitter database had to be compromissed for that.
Brute Force shouldn't work, since there should be a limit on login attempts.
Do they really have such weak security?
