Again? Does nobody that works at Twitter set a decent password on their accounts?

Nah. It'd have to be trustno1, god or letmein...

I would have expected that Twitter would insist that staff members set decent passwords after last time but I guess not.

Getting attacked with a DDoS isn't particularly unusual these days. Annoy somebody or even just exist on the internet and somebody will try to DDoS you eventually. Even the small botnets are usually sufficient to blast somebody off the internet.

Just because they have their CCSP doesn't mean they are going to be good. They might be an idiot, might have dumped, or just be plain lazy.

Twitter is more for expressing personal humor than personal information.
