» SFB says: Thanks for the note on this. It seemed clear due to the writing style, but at the same time, this went out to a solid 100,000 people. The account is currently suspended, along with the account for the Script Kiddies, which is a responsible move on Twitter’s part. (Sophos has more details on the hacker group.) Tumblr user Sic Transit Vir also left a note on the post suggesting that in future cases like this, we put it behind a jump. As we (as a general rule) don’t do jumps, in the future we’ll try to put giant notes on the images, including this one. — Ernie @ SFB
This probably isn’t real but we’re saving a record just in case. (EDIT: The hacker group just confirmed this. Classy. | More background here. | Official response from NBC.)
