I was one of the people who somehow ended up following him without asking to. He tweeted this on Monday: "Social Networks Are Becoming a Security Risk - http://bit.ly/9As7IN" and amassed over 50,000 followers who didn't choose to follow him. It feels like it was someone trying to prove Twitter wasn't secure enough. ~Sharon Have you heard anything about how this was related to the now suspended user @THXc?

Glad your back! Great post.
