Bogged down in a scandal over the leak of one of its platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, the oil company BP (British Petroleum) is still experiencing some setbacks. This lighter and less dramatic as this is his Twitter account, @ BP_America. We must believe that some conservationists have sought to make themselves heard.
In recent days, a fake Twitter account of the company circulated. @ Named BPGlobalPR he would have counted more than 90,000 subscribers through sending short message from a certain Terry, ridiculing the Total oil group decisions. These false-tweet would remain online for 30 minutes but are a sign of an intrusion on behalf of the company.
The editor explains in a Sophos security blog that this intrusion would have been permitted through the use of a password security too low. A method has become classic among fans of hacking the site of micro-blogging. However, Twitter has already banned certain passwords are too easy to decipher. The site had prohibited the use of 370 access codes to be too simplistic to provide a basic level of security to access an account. It seems that these measures are not enough .
