For example, something like "I have an emergency situation please send Bitcoin donation to 1NmjJSDfSTRy6Ez4USyKct1mXgwteJvqfj".



And then, "I am selling my personal mining rig DM me for information".



Keep an eye on the feed, it's strange. I'm sure he's locked out of his own account. I suppose the Foundation can confirm whether the donation address belongs to them.

Jon Matonis' Twitter feed has been strange. There have been strange tweets that stay up for a few minutes and then are deleted.For example, something like "I have an emergency situation please send Bitcoin donation to 1NmjJSDfSTRy6Ez4USyKct1mXgwteJvqfj".And then, "I am selling my personal mining rig DM me for information".Keep an eye on the feed, it's strange.

Anyone having Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Google+ or similar account or is using any of services provided by (major) corporations or other service providers who are backed by system

and is involved with cryptocoins at the same time is an idiot, period.



'idiot' is a technical term which probably does not apply. Fun though.



I'll agree with the statement, but with some modification. ...using, for mission critical things, any of the services... It is unwise and probably impractical to avoid many of these services in 2013. But from a system design perspective, they should be treated as resources which have less reliability than might be desired. And a failure mode which will likely be associated with other system failures.



I would also point out that '(major) corporations' provide almost everyone with edge connectivity (your isp) as well as carry backbone traffic. And they have a pretty high degree of control over 'your' packets. So, if on is an 'idiot, period' for relying on '(major) corporations or other service providers', we are pretty much all idiots.

Well, not everyone is doing such crazy, brave, and subversive activities as ironing Bitcoin patches on to Chinese textiles.



To say that I was underwhelmed by the 'mega' aspect of the 'megastore' which I just had a peek at would be a bit of an understatement.

Ouch! That can't help is 'advisory' credentials much. At least in terms of advising about security...

Sure, it can't be Twitter staff is doing it on command, for fun or something else. Why would they do it? They are just cool company offerring "make your stalker's life easier" services,

heavily backed by anti-cryptocoin kind of people, no?

Maybe, maybe not (and probably not for BM's hypothesis though I would not rule it out.)



My Android phone was hacked some months ago with what seems to perhaps have been a zero-day and my mail seems to have been broken into in that attack. It was dumb luck that the phone had connectivity only briefly or I may not have ever known. The attacker seemed to be clumsy though (or very very good...sometimes it's hard to tell.)



I now no longer allow my phone or Windows machine access to my real mail which is awfully inconvenient, but what can ya do? Hopefully for Jon, he was similarly careful.
