Well Yes, Mr. President …I would Like to be the Ambassador to Barbados

Ok maybe not. 33 high profile Twitter accounts, ranging from President-Elect Barak Obama to Fox News to Britney Spears, were hacked using the company's own support tools.

This comes on the heels of an incident in which Twitter accounts were used to launch Phishing attacks. The compromised celebrity accounts were used to send offensive (or humorous, depending on your point of view) messages about the sender.

According to the company's blog, the compromised accounts were locked down shortly after the compromise, but the question remains...how in the heck did hackers get access to Twitter's support tools. This is a reminder to users...just because an application is on the web does not mean it is secure.

A compromised Twitter account may not be that big of a deal, but what about your email account or your account on a social networking site. Application developers have to start building security in, or face the wrath of Brittney.
