• Private data for 5.4 million Twitter users has been leaked online.  (Bleeping Computer)
  
  Twitter had a bug - fixed back in January - that let you look up a phone number or email address and get the corresponding account, if one existed.  Patient hackers crawled their way through millions of numbers and addresses - probably stolen from somewhere else - to match them up, and then offered it all up for sale for $30k.
  
  Now it's apparently available for free.

  And then blocked them.
  
  
  
• When they said the compiler could make monkeys fly out of your butt, they meant it.  (PKH)
  
  Integer overflow in C is undefined behaviour.  That means that if you put a check in your code to catch that a value has overflowed and fix the problem, the compiler is entirely within the C standard if it removes your check and then crashes when the value overflows.
  
  Use a real language.
