Wow! unbelievable, i lost 15 pounds with this... - Thomas Hawk

uh oh. looks like TH's been phished/hacked - Richard Lawler

I'm seeing the same message all over twitter - Erin @queenofspain

Oye. - Micah

At least this one didn't say "Howdy my friend." - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo

I just wonder if people who intend to make money by hacking other's accounts will ever invest in the all important spell checker. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

Is the exploit based on the profile vector again? - Micah

m'sayin, you'd figure the spammers could afford a decent copy writer by now - Richard Lawler

Oh, great. I have a feeling this isn't the last of the security issues we see with Twitter. - Robert Scoble

:( - Simon Wicks

but still, 15 pounds in 2 weeks... well done thomas ;) - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

LOL! - Lindsay, thread killer.

I'd love to have the job of Editor for the spammers of the world, I bet I could triple their profits using a bit of English. You can capitalize 'Unbelievable' and 'I', it's 'these' instead of 'this'. Periods go BEFORE the space, the dollar sign before the numeral, and it's 'Check IT out now'. - Will Higgins™

Exactly Will, if I could just get in contact wit hthese people we could both make a lot of money. - Richard Lawler

Not with typos like 'wit hthese' ;0 !! :O) - Will Higgins™

Email spam is intentionally misspelled to get past the spam filters. - invariant

There ya go Rich, you could get into Email spam instead :D - Will Higgins™

Anyone have a way to contact Thomas Hawk and let him know? - John E. Bredehoft from fftogo

Someone could DM him through Friendfeed I would guess. - invariant

I see variants of this spam in Twitter's Trending topics "For $5" - https://twitter.com/#search... - imabonehead

NO NO it's incredible we have to try it out! I'm saving up because I sent all my money to that Nigerian Royal who desperately needed my help and promised me his daughter's hand in marriage. - sofarsoShawn Blue Period

That's too bad Jack. Tell you what, I'll send you the 5 bucks, just give me your bank account # so I can wire it to you. - invariant

It's not the profile hack - not seeing any javascript in this one. Either a phishing attack or a rogue app that finally decided to use all those usernames and passwords. - Jesse Stay

Anyone know if Thomas is aware of this? He needs to change his Twitter password ASAP. - Mike Doeff

haha. Wow. I wonder how that happend. I tried to get into Twitter to change my password but it said that it was over capacity. thanks for the email Eric. And I do feel thinner from walking around Chicago the past few days. ;) - Thomas Hawk

Or some other site that stores unames/passwords (or oauth tokens for that matter) got hacked. Not that hard to imagine... - Damon Cortesi

ah, ok. I changed my password. All should be good now. Sorry for the spam folks. ;) - Thomas Hawk

But the pills? Do they work? - Louis Gray

Glad you got it back in control, Thomas. Let us know what you track down about it. - Micah

Dough!!! Buigtter!! - Francisco Espinoza

It's not only a problem with Twitter is it? Gmail and Hotmail accounts are being compromised every day, which can have serious implications for those people who use the same login details for Facebook, Twitter, Friendfeed et al. Imagine if 1 ID for all your social networking and email gets hacked. - Gilbert Harding

Will the special pills help Thomas publish one million photos in his lifetime? - Rick Cogley

LOL @ Brian N! - CAJ, somewhere else

You are looking good TH ;) and it soon is beach body season. - sofarsoShawn Blue Period
