Twitter Hack Trail Leads To 'DigitalGangster'

techcrunch.com — It all seems to point back to one person that goes by “Gmz” on a hacker site called Digital Gangster (this site was also where Miley Cyrus photos were posted after they were taken from her hacked Gmail account). Gmz obtained the account credentials and then posted them on DigitalGanster.

    -mx/amit on dg.
  • wtfbatman, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2What's more funny is that it's not like they hid who they were, either. Each ***** update was usually littered with "DIGITAL GANGSTER"

    HM, I WONDER WHO DID IT? MY FIRST SUSPICIONS ARE MYG0T OR THE G00NS. HRMMMM

  • jjustin01, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Why can't these people do something useful and hack into the CO$ systems and expose them for what they really are?

    At least find Bin Laden or something.

  • radioface, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Spoilers- 4chan doesn't have any hackers. Unless you meant to put the word "hackers" in quotes, which would have made more sense.
  • koenigje, on 01/06/2009, -2/+2Unfortunately your +1 internet epeen results in a lot of buries. Sorry for your loss.

  • Abatrour, on 01/06/2009, -7/+4I would love to see the "4chan" hackers to use their efforts to expose the New World Order.
    Please hackers, use your skill to expose all the coverups that the American government are involved in.
