It's interesting (and perhaps sad) how these days having a blog in which to complain, if needed, is one of the most foolproof ways to receive proper customer care from certain online companies.

This isn't nearly as exciting as the story of @N, but I just had something strange happen to one of my Twitter accounts, too.Registered "tweetcoin" handle awhile back for one of the projects I am working on, and posted on Feb 9 (my single tweet) - "Exciting things in the works" was my comment:<a href="https://twitter.com/tweetcoin" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/tweetcoin</a>Tried logging in today, couldn't log in. Ended up resetting pwd using my email account, and the reset link logged me in as 'tweetcoin1' - that's when I knew that my Twitter handle had changed from 'tweetcoin' to 'tweetcoin1'.What's even more bizarre - another tweet appeared under that account. It was dated April 2012, and it simply said:"This isn't your account."

I believe this is called a "happy @N-ding".

The title is actually "Happy ending: @N has been restored to its rightful owner"."finally" implies that Twitter was too slow in reacting to this. Please don't editorialize.

What I want to know is: what was the attacker thinking? A Twitter handle is something that Twitter can easily return to its rightful owner -- it's not exactly something you can steal. I could see some scenario where the attacker would use some information to extort Naoki into not telling Twitter, but that didn't appear to happen here.

I've seen a few of these stories that assert Hiroshima lost his account. That misrepresents things a little. What actually happened is he was blackmailed into changing his username; his Twitter account, including his tweet history, followers and everything besides the single-character username, seems to have remained intact and under his control throughout the ordeal.

I hope Mr.Hiroshima writes a blog post detailing what happened. I'm particularly interested in whether Twitter has implemented any changes in the way they handle high value handles/or all to prevent others who've experienced this with their Twitter account.

In case anyone wants to see the old discussion we had here on HN (before it was restored 27 days ago): <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7141532" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7141532</a>

It's nice that Twitter merged @N_IS_STOLEN with his original @N account.

It also helps having inside contacts at Google, Twitter or Facebook."So I rang my friend at Twitter" tends to be a common theme in these blog posts. I believe this was the case here too.

Does anyone know: what was the account used for in the mean time?

Interesting. Just a couple of days ago it had some spammy seeming name, instead of not existing like it had for the previous few weeks.
