Twitter breach exposed anonymous account owners
SAN FRANSISCO — A vulnerability in Twitter’s software that exposed an undetermined number of owners of anonymous accounts to potential identity compromise last year was apparently exploited by a malicious actor, the social media company said. It did not confirm a report that data on 5.4 million users was offered for sale online as a result but said users worldwide were affected, AP reports. The breach is especially worrisome because many Twitter account owners, including human rights activists, do not disclose their identities in their profiles for security reasons that include fear of persecution by repressive authorities. “This is very bad for many who use pseudonymous Twitter accounts,” U.S. Naval Academy data security expert Jeff Kosseff tweeted. The vulnerability...

(TWTR.N) could provide its method of sampling 100 accounts and how it confirmed that the accounts are real, his $44 billion deal to buy the company should proceed on its original terms. "However, if it turns out that their SEC filings are materially false, then it should not," Musk tweeted early on Saturday. In response to a Twitter user asking whether the U.S. SEC was probing "dubious claims" by the company, Musk tweeted "Good question, why aren't they?". Twitter on Thursday dismissed Musk's claim that he was hoodwinked into signing the deal to buy the social media company, saying that it was "implausible and contrary to fact". "According to Musk, he — the billionaire founder...

A myth about depression?
LONDON — A study showing depression isn't caused by low levels of the "happy hormone" serotonin has become one of the most widely shared medical articles.It has provoked a wave of misleading claims about antidepressant drugs, many of which increase the amount of serotonin in the brain.This research doesn't show the drugs aren't effective.But the response to it has also sparked some genuine questions about how people treat, and think about, mental illness.After Sarah had her first major psychiatric episode, in her early 20s, doctors told her the medication she was prescribed was like "insulin for a diabetic". It was essential, would correct something chemically wrong in her brain, and would need to be taken for life.Her mother had type 1 diabetes, so she...
