The Friday release thing doesn't aggravate me nearly as much as the title.
Security is tough. Really, really tough. I'm not here to crucify them for the breach, but the title glosses over the event in a way that is disingenuous at best. When you border on dishonesty with your title, people begin to question your motives.
The title isn't meant for anyone who's account was compromised. Mine was, I got an email. The subject was "Twitter has reset your account password". No beating around the bush there.
I'm not upset, it sounds like they detected it quickly and went out of their way to make sure everyone was not only notified but ensured that their account was safe. 250k users is a very small number of their accounts. A literal drop in the bucket. It sounds to me that they're going after the hackers and I appreciate that.
