I grew up near scranton and never heard of these before. Was an interesting read.
Likewise, I must have driven past them a few dozen times without even knowing!

I'll be interested to see the post-mortem on this breach for sure.
As an outsider, I would have thought that the Twitter security team would have a set of high-value users (with @jack being at the top of the list) who'd they keep very close tabs on in terms of any unusual activity.
Realistically Twitter is where announcements are made by world leaders and major corporations, control of these accounts could have repercussions, although in this case it just seems to have been a general hack...
I think most of the suspicions so far have been pointing to a sim swapping attack.
(Serious Q) What other good alternatives are out there for Yelp?
