LulzSec Reborn Hacks 10,000 Twitter Accounts

LulzSec Reborn Hacks 10,000 Twitter Accounts | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
From mashable.com - June 12, 2012 8:51 AM
LulzSec Reborn, a splinter group of the now-defunct LulzSec, exposed 10,000 Twitter users' data in a new hack.

 

LulzSec Reborn, a splinter group of the defunct LulzSec, is claiming responsibility for leaking data from 10,000 users of a ===> Twitter-based app called TweetGif. <===

 

The app, which let users share GIFs, required users to share information including their real names, passwords, bios, locations and secret tokens, all of which LulzSec Reborn has made public. The group, which last month leaked account information from 171,000 members of the military via millitarysingles.com, has not given a reason for its latest hack.

 

Reps from TweetGif could not be reached for comment at press time.

Facebook unveils new mobile security measures

Facebook unveils new mobile security measures | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
From www.net-security.org - June 8, 2012 11:16 AM
Facebook has introduced three security updates for protecting its mobile users: a code generator, the ability to report unwanted content on your phone, and improved mobile recovery flows.

The code generator should make it easier to confirm logins made on new devices, as users will be able to receive Login Approval codes through their Facebook Application and via SMS, so it will work regardless of whether the users have cellular or Internet access.

When Brands Automate Twitter and Facebook Responses I’ll Revolt | DailyTekk

When Brands Automate Twitter and Facebook Responses I’ll Revolt | DailyTekk | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
From dailytekk.com - June 8, 2012 2:28 PM

Have you seen this article on TechCrunch describing how and why brands will soon try to automate social media responses? I just read it and it makes me a bit furious. Many companies, especially large ones, already go out of their way to make it as difficult as humanely possible to contact a real, live human being to talk to. Why? Obviously because they don’t care about their customers as much as their advertising would have you believe.

 

So, big brands (and small brands if you’re dumb enough to try it), here’s a promise and a prediction. If you begin automating social media responses, I promise to quit using your product. I also promise to raise a huge stink about it. I also predict that other people will rebel in a big way if this becomes widespread.

Is It Really a Social Media Bubble? [Infographic] - SocialTimes

Is It Really a Social Media Bubble? [Infographic] - SocialTimes | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
From socialtimes.com - May 30, 2012 10:44 AM
Are things really different this time? The infographic takes a cynical position, stating that social media has no real guarantee of future probability, and these sky high valuations are tremendously risky and are -- in fact -- a bubble.

How To Find Key Influencers In a Specific Niche

How To Find Key Influencers In a Specific Niche | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
From jureklepic.com - May 26, 2012 7:22 AM

Robin Good: Influencers are those individuals who have enough reputation, credibilityand expertise to affect your interests and choices. That's a very valuable commercial proposition for marketers. But how do you find these influencers.

 

Some interesting alternatives are starting to emerge, beyond the popularity-based score-based reputation services as Klout and Peerindex.

 

Jure Klepic reports on this: “Who are these influencers and how DO we find them?

 

Is there some way of identifying those people who are connected to a critical mass of easily influenced people?"

 

The article analyzes some of the shortcomings of the approaches used today, while highlighting some of the new and more interesting services that focus on helping you or your company identify key influencers in a specific niche.

 

Informative. Useful. 7/10

Empire Avenue Motivates us to Build The Community Shouldn't the rewards for doing so be scaled? When you are new in Empire Avenue, you soon find that you need to either purchase Eaves to invest (with real money) or, as most do, earn them.

Empire Avenue "Missions" are a great thing. They are nothing short of terrific and flexible in their configuration, and provide a very rapid collection of reactions for those who are crowd-sourcing.
