Funny. @octal is a friend of mine, was at BTC2013.

Twitter has 2FA now -- really unforgivable for a visible frontman of the BTC world.

I should be more clear that the attacker who had control of Jon's account was communicating with @octal.

Hey attacker?  Tell us if Jon's Yahoo! password was some permutation of 'liberty', 'rand', 'atlas', etc and I'll send you a few bucks.



Right. @octal was just asking the hacker a bunch of questions through twitter, and that was one of the responses. You can still see the questions on @octal's account, but @jonmatonis has been purged to 0 tweets and just a handful of followers.

It's surprising how much schadenfreude there's been around this. I don't know much about Matonis, but is seems like a lot of people had very little respect for him.
