Hacker: I broke into Twitter

01.05.2009
Due to a reporting error, the story, "Hacker: I broke into Twitter," posted Thursday, incorrectly described Biz Stone's position at Twitter. He is a cofounder. The story has been corrected on the wire and the third paragraph has been changed to read:

Twitter cofounder Biz Stone confirmed the breach in a Thursday afternoon. "This week, unauthorized access to Twitter was gained by an outside party," he wrote. "Our initial security reviews and investigations indicate that no account information was altered or removed in any way. However, we discovered that 10 individual accounts were viewed during this unauthorized access."
