Twitter addz LOLcat as supportd language, kthxbai

Twitter, in a totally unexpected move, decided to add LOLcat as a supported language on their website. The changes becomes visible throughout the web interface, but doesn’t affect the actual tweets of course. The “HOME” becomes Hum, “EXPAND” is now Expand. Kthnx., and “VIEW SUMMARY” is now View Summary. Kthnxbye!.

The idea is not really new, after all. Facebook also has English (Pirate) and English (Upside Down) as one of its supported languages. You can try the LOLcat language by going to Settings and selecting LOLCATZ (BETA) in the languuj section. Have fun!

Twitter says up to 250,000 accounts may have been hacked

Twitter recently announced that it has been hacked. In a post on their blog, the company has detailed that it has detected unusual activity patterns this last week which ultimately led them to identify the unauthorized access of Twitter’s user data.

Twitter even spotted one ongoing attack and was able to stop it mere moments later. However, they say the investigation has revealed that some 250,000 user accounts may have been affected by the attack. User information such as usernames, email address, session tokens (which is used to store log-ins), and salted or encrypted versions of passwords may have had been accessed.

As a result, Twitter has reset the passwords of those accounts. If you’re one of the victims, you should have or will receive an email notifying you that you need to create a new password on your next log-in. You will have to enter your new password on every app or browser you use as Twitter has cleared the log-in sessions for the affected accounts.
