Gizmodo's Twitter account hacked

Hackers gain access through a former employee's Twitter account, which they breached first.

Gizmodo's Twitter account was hacked Friday by a group called Clan VV3. The breach didn't last long, but it was enough to send racist and offensive messages to the account's 415,000 followers.
The attackers apparently gained access to the Gizmodo account after compromising former employee Mat Honan's e-mail and Twitter account.
