$50,000 Twitter account stolen from owner - Got it back now though.

He got it back, https://twitter.com/n , but bloody hell, 50k just for the username of a letter. Imagine owning the whole alphabet.Foot notes:
~N. Hiroshima had a very rare and simple Twitter account: @N. He had been offered as much as $50,000 for it but always refused and constantly had password reset emails in his inbox.
~He received an email about a password change for Paypal but ignored it until after he finished his lunch.
~Paypal customer service gave his attacker the last four digits of his credit card.
~GoDaddy customer service actually allowed the attacker to guess digits over the phone until he came up with the rest.
~The attacker used possession of the GoDaddy as a bargaining tactic to convince Hiroshima to release his Twitter handle. He communicated with Hiroshima through Facebook after taking over his Facebook along with his GoDaddy account.
~Twitter still hasn't returned his handle, Paypal is denying that they gave out the last four digits of his credit card and GoDaddy has admit to partial blame.

NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

Bet it's a golf.
