Seems like Twitter is experiencing firsthand the pitfalls of cloud storage. “Hacker Croll” apparently gained access to Twitter documents by hacking into an employee’s personal account and then downloading papers that had been stored in Google Docs. Hacker Croll then sent 310 formerly confidential documents to TechCrunch, which is now publishing some of them.
