In a blog post, staff at the micro-blogging website said that it interrupted attempts to access user data, and that attackers stole 250,000 users' login names, email addresses and encrypted passwords. One of those users was Rory Cellan-Jones, a journalist who covers technology for the BBC. The attack follows other high-profile hacking attacks, inlcluding China-based hackers' inflitrating computer systems at The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, and Anonymous's hijack of the US Sentencing Commission's website.
