Thirteen images, taken by someone known as “Hacker Croll,” were posted to a French blog and a Warez forum, which detail the backend administration used by Twitter staff. Skeptics called the images suspect early on, but late yesterday evening Twitter confirmed the images were legit and confirmed the unauthorized access to the administrator account. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thetechherald.com/article.php/200918/3586/Twitter-confirms-admin-account-compromise"><P>The images first appeared <A target="_blank" href="http://www.korben.info/twitter-vu-de-linterieur-interface-admin-piratee.html">on the French blog Korben</A>.
