$50,000 Twitter Username Stolen With Help From PayPal and GoDaddy

Kind of scary how easily PayPal and GoDaddy give out your personal information: https://medium.com/p/24eb09e026dd[^] Isn't this aiding and abetting a crime on the part of PayPal and GoDaddy?
I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how to use my telephone - Bjarne Stroustrup The world is going to laugh at you anyway, might as well crack the 1st joke! My code has no bugs, it runs exactly as it was written.

I read this earlier, I think all staff interacting with customers at these companies should have to read Mitnick as a basic requirement![^]
Well fads they come and fads they go. And God I love that rock and roll! Well the point was fast but it was too blunt to miss. Life handed us a paycheck, we said, "We worked harder than this!"

Yes, I agree. But, unless issues like this receive more publicity, nothing will probably ever change.

The SMS for two-way for Paypal stinks (I guess I am used to Google's; Paypal makes you press a button to send the SMS as I didn't know this at first.), they offer two other methods though.

Why would anyone trust PayPal or GoDaddy or any faceless organization to look after anything? And why would you think that anyone would pay $50000 for a stupid handle for stupid Twitter. To sort of misquote: He knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

In the article the author states that someone once offered him $50000 for his twitter username. That is where that price comes from. In hindsight, the author should have taken the offer. I sure would have! I agree with you, no handle is worth that much money (unless you are Google or Microsoft, etc.). If somebody offered it to me, it would be a done deal without a second thought!

Paypal has denied giving out card details: http://thenextweb.com/insider/2014/01/29/paypal-denies-providing-payment-information-hacker-hijacked-50000-twitter-username/#!t1v2b[^] Hopefully the hacker has a recording of the call he's willing to share to disprove this.. ;P
