“Ethnic restaurant”? WTF?

@franksting Oh cyberwar will definitely be a theme for my conversation with @e_kaspersky, given both our interests.

Ah here we go. Reserve supplies of someone else’s medication. That’s a start.
I’m sure there’ll be something in the storeroom that’s more or less alcohol.
Oh, so NO clients have paid me these last few days? That’s a bit inconvenient. Grumble.

@NewtonMark Hey I’m just passing on @NSWWaratahs’ on-the-record statement at this stage. But we can speculate about what’s happening. ;)
Anyway, folks, that’s all I have on the record from @NSWWaratahs about #waratahstweetgate for the time being.
It would be fair to say that @NSWWaratahs is well aware of the general sentiment on Twitter about this incident so far. We did chat.
“Until we’ve got further information from them [Twitter], we can’t say anything,” the @NSWWaratahs spokesperson told me.
Spokesperson for @NSWWaratahs: “We’ve removed the offending tweet, we have since apologised, and we are investigating it with Twitter.”
PJORourke Remember, your body needs 6 to 8 glasses of fluid daily. Straight up or on the rocks.
@D_Keating It would seem that @NSWWaratahs hasn’t tweeting since apologising and blaming Teh HaX0rz.

I’m about to phone @NSWWaratahs about their hack… or has someone already done that?

I have written too many words. Too many angry words. I must simmer them down, concentrating them into something even more angry.

Thank you, @oberonsghost @SilvesterSJ and the SEKRIT one. I am now returning to my writing refreshed and reinvigorated.

@attaboy Hi, I’ll be quoting this tweet in an article twitter.com/attaboy/status… so I’m wondering how to describe you other than SF resident.
Fuck that little blue bus and everyone on it.
OK, I’m writing now. And I think that under the circumstances I will have to deploy the piñata. Quite please.
@j_hutch I read that carefully. They’re not firing a “3D gun”. They’re showing a video of firing a “3D gun”.

Indeed, given it’s Cyber Security Awareness Week, I’m sure @NSWWaratahs will be completely open and honest, to help educate the public.
I understand that @NSWWaratahs is some sort of sportsball outfit, so I’ll phone them later about this hack. The cyber threat is important!
Ah, @NSWWaratahs, even Tom Waterhouse wouldn’t have put odds on you using the “we wuz hacked” line. How did the breach happen?
NSWWaratahs An apology. This account was hacked and we are deeply embarrassed by the highly inappropriate post this am. We apologise for any offence.
Look, @bastardsheep @charispalmer, I just report. You decide.
