Updated: Man Has $50,000 Twitter Stolen, Blames GoDaddy, PayPal

[Adam Locking]

As much as I hate paypal, I notice very few people seem to be blaming GoDaddy for this as well. I've heard more than a few horror-stories about GoDaddy from people I trust, apparently they are just dreadful.

This sounds exactly like the kind of incompetent shit PayPal would do.

This sounds almost exactly like what happened to Mat Honan (of Wired Magazine) a year and a half ago. It was Apple rather then PayPal, but the basic hack was almost identical. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/

Well who has it now? Shouldn't that be helpful in this case?

 

[Someone Depressing]

I use Paypal. And this is fucking ridiculous. What's wrong with the handle "NN"?

There was a hacking attempt, but they did not divulge information meaning yes the some info was stolen but not willingly.
