Twitter

I set up a Twitter account years ago to send private messages to one of my friends who was in the hospital and wasn't getting e-mail.

Otherwise, I never used it, and it must have been active for five years, at least.

Today, my long, long-time friend Andrew Stingel e-mailed me and said the account had been hacked.

I went to the page and of course he was right. Links posted to god knows where.

I reset the account password, then changed the e-mail address associated with the account. Twitter said they'd send me a confirmation e-mail to the new e-mail address to verify.

Three hours later, I still don't have it, so I just deleted the account. Old man kids get off my lawn etc.
