In an amazing coincidence, we were just talking about why Twitter would matter in a different context.
You may have seen the WSJ origin of this - http://hotair.com/archives/2013/08/06/traders-sneaking-peeks-at-government-economic-reports/ There was a mention of Sandia's work for Bureau of Labor a while back in the press - we reluctantly red-teamed their pressroom security. We told them that this was possible and even likely. So the last couple of days, we've been passing this article around in email and making cracks about it. One of our original recommendations was to move from the 1960 pressroom model to a 21st Century Internet model. In the email chain, one of us joked that they'd be better off just using Twitter - to which I replied that their adversary model would then be Guccifer and Syrian Electronic Army. Just imagine if the Friday morning government economic news came out via Twitter - authentication on Twitter really would matter.
