Ridgewood NJ, The hacking group Anonymous got a taste of its own medicine, when its Twitter account was hacked by little-known group called Rustle League. Anonymous’ Twitter account was down for around three hours before the group regained control.
The twitter hack comes after a series of Twitter account breaches orchestrated by Anonymous , which included a rather humors jab at Burger King, Jeep and presenter on BBC’s Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson.
Anonymous is best known for coordinating highly public attacks on big businesses and political targets such as Paypal and the US Federal Reserve.
The group itself has recently been accused of becoming lax with its own cyber security. Recently cyber security firm McAfee describing Anonymous’ work as hacking-for-hire, and suggesting the collective is going into decline.
Proving -again- that Twitter has security flaws. If Anonymous had a website and it was hacked, that would be big news.
