On The Media
On The Media’s Alex Goldman went out in search of that guy who posted his passwords in the comments section of a Washington Post story about the Heartbleed bug. Naturally, his accounts were then hijacked.
Goldman started with Twitter, he explained on Friday on TLDR’s episode called “What Happens When You Tell The Whole Internet Your Password.” Goldman found the woman who gained access to Y. Woodman Brown’s account, and she talked to him. That led him to the man himself, who, it turns out, isn’t really that much of a risk taker.
“You won’t find me bungee jumping,” he said.
The woman who took control of Y. Woodman Brown’s Twitter account did say she’d post a daily tweet with song lyrics, modified to reflect having your Twitter account hacked. She’s posted one so far.
Is anyone available to catch me if I fall? It keeps happening time after time. Time after time.
