Twitpic accounts hacked
The Internet messaging system shut down part of its service after the hacking was discovered Sunday because of what the company described as a “vulnerability” in the mobile posting system.
Twitpic Incorporated, based in Charleston, South Carolina, said to disregard a message from Spears’ account that incorrectly said the singer had died, and they were “implementing a fix immediately.”
Twitpic is a program that allows users of Twitter to share photographs. It is not owned by Twitter Inc.
Emails seeking further comment from Twitpic were not immediately returned Sunday.
