LAZY SUNDAY

Doing it Instagram style!

3. + 4. Today's outfit plus I reached 200 followers on twitter! yay <3 Join the squad today, right this way. Wow, it rhymes. I'm feeling funny today.

5. + 6. Sneak peek and details of today's outfit. Why do I show you the entire outfit before I give you a sneek peak? I don't know.

7. + 8. A little post about me on The Small Snake. Thank you!<3 And Raf Simons' last collection for Jil Sander, which was magical! Love the romantic colors going on.

Leaked Twitter Subpoena Raises Online Privacy Issues

The leaked subpoena sent to Twitter this month by the Suffolk District Attorney’s Office in Boston is causing some hoopla on the web and raising the issue of law enforcement’s access to online personal data.

On Dec. 14, the D.A.’s Office issued a subpoena to Twitter in order to access the account information of two users who tweeted a list of personal information they allegedly obtained by hacking into the Boston Police Patrolmens’ Association. The hackers stole identifying information and Tweeted it to followers. The subpoena requests “available subscriber information, for the account or accounts associated with the following information, including IP address logs for account creation.”

In the subpoena, assistant D.A. Benjamin A. Goldberger requests that the investigation be kept from the Twitter users as to not impede the ongoing probe. But the information was leaked. We reached out to Twitter for comment, but have yet to hear back.

On Dec. 23 one of the accounts under investigation, @p0isAn0N Tweeted, “Haha. Boston PD submitted to Twitter for my information. Lololol? For what? Posting info pulled from public domains? #comeatmebro.”

The D.A.’s office requested details of two Twitter users and also listed the name Guido Fawkes, which is the name but not handle listed for one of the accounts under investigation, as well as the hashtags #BostonPD and #d0xcak3.

One of the accounts being probed is listed in the subpoena as @OccupyBoston, however that account appears to be inactive. It’s likely they meant @Occupy_Boston, which Tweets about the occupy movement. Targeting this account has lead some to speculate that the police are monitoring the online activity of occupy protestors.

Twitter’s website contains an information section for law enforcement. It states that if a subpoena is issued for a user’s information, the company will inform that user before they hand the information to the authorities, unless it is prevented from doing so by court order or statute. According to its site, Twitter was following protocol by informing the user of the subpoena, and, perhaps later providing that user’s information to the Boston D.A. This isn’t the first time Twitter has been reluctant to hand-over user information to law enforcement.

It’s possible Twitter does host some personal information about the owners of the accounts who tweeted the hacked materials. At the very least, it might have IP addresses. However, Twitter doesn’t verify identities or email addresses of its users, so using Twitter for detective work might be more harmful than helpful to an investigation, especially if the subpoena is leaked. We contacted the Boston District Attorney’s Office and are waiting for a reply.

Do you think Twitter should surrender user information for hackers? Please tell us in the comments.

Alwaleed Bin Talal Invests $300 Million In Twitter

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal and his investment company said Monday they are investing a combined $300 million into Twitter, giving the microblogging site a cash boost as it looks to entice more users and paying advertisers.

The joint investment with Alwaleed's Kingdom Holding Co. follows months of negotiations and represents a "strategic stake" in Twitter, according to the Riyadh, Saudi Arabia-based investment firm. It wasn't clear how much of Twitter the prince will control.

Alwaleed, a nephew of the Saudi king, ranks 26th on Forbes' list of the world's richest people. He has a history of investing in media and technology companies, and said the deal represents an interest "in promising, high-growth businesses with a global impact."

Twitter allows users to send short messages of up to 140 characters. The 5-year-old site has been instrumental in connecting protesters and relaying on-the-ground developments during this year's Arab Spring uprisings.

Globally, the San Francisco-based company has more than 100 million active users who post an average of 250 million messages, or "tweets," a day.

"We believe that social media will fundamentally change the media industry landscape in the coming years. Twitter will capture and monetize this positive trend," Ahmed Halawani, KHC's executive director of private equity and international investments, said in a statement.

Twitter spokesman Matt Graves confirmed the investment but was unable to provide further details.

Alwaleed is the main shareholder in KHC, which has a major stake in Citigroup Inc. The investment company also holds stakes in other Western giants, including Apple Inc. and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.

Alwaleed's decision to buy into Twitter likely goes beyond his interest in media and technology. Said Hirsh, a Mideast economist with Capital Economics in London, said Arab investors such as Alwaleed have long targeted trophy assets and well established brands.

"It is ... an investment into a well recognized brand with future growth potential," Hirsh said.

In February 2010, Alwaleed's Rotana Group media company agreed to sell a stake of just over 9 percent to News Corp. for $70 million.

Alwaleed is in the process of launching a new Arabic news channel that will challenge established players such as Qatar's Al-Jazeera and Saudi-funded Al-Arabiya.

The channel, which will be called Alarab, is expected to begin operations next year and will feature reports from business news service Bloomberg LP. Alwaleed has said he hopes the new network will focus on the shifts taking place across the Arab world, with an emphasis on freedom of speech and of the press.

KHC also owns a sizable stake in a Saudi media company that produces the influential Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat and other publications.

Twitter recently began rolling out a series of tweaks designed to make the site easier to navigate. The redesign also aims to allow for more detailed information about corporate brands as Twitter tries to convert more companies into advertisers.

The company earlier this year raised $400 million from venture capitalists and other investors. Twitter CEO Dick Costolo said in September that cash cushion would allow the company to control its own destiny – and for now avoid selling its stock through an initial public offering.

By limiting its shareholders to a small group of private investors, Twitter doesn't have to disclose how much revenue it brings in. The research firm eMarketer estimates Twitter will generate close to $140 million in ad revenue this year and $260 million in 2012.

Nelly Furtado's Twitter Account Also Hacked

Hot on the heels of Lady Gaga‘s Twitter account being hacked, singer Nelly Furtado has also fallen victim to hacking. Where as Gaga was “offering” an iPad2 to all of her followers in the spirit of the season, Furtado’s fake tweet, which has since been removed from her feed, offered Mac Book laptops. You know what they say: If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.

The tweet read: “Dearies, I’m giving away free Macbooks to each one of you in the spirit of the holidays.” A fake and potentially dangerous link was also included in the tweet. You can view the tweet on Tech Crunch.

Pop stars should be concerned as there seems to be some sort of coordinated effort to take over their social media networks.

A word of warning to those who follow pop stars on Twitter: Do not click on these links offering up free tech gadgets. They could cause harm to your computer.

'Glee' Starlet Dianna Agron's Twitter Account Hacked

‘Glee‘ star Dianna Agron became the victim of Twitter hacking when an obsessed fan figured out the password to her account over the weekend.

The hacker logged onto the 25-year-old’s account and took the liberty of sending a series of messages, which were blasted to the actress’ 787,000 followers. Although the tweets have since been removed, a string of the hacker’s messages can be found on Oh No They Didn’t.

The creepy tweets talked about how the star is “a super nice person” and “doesn’t deserve” the hacking, using the fact that he or she “just guessed her password” as an excuse. Meanwhile online buzz about the hacking grew instantaneously, making #diannaspassword a top trending topic.

Another one of the erratic tweets implied that the hacker knew Agron’s phone number: “Left her voicemail saying sorry, I truly am and I am not being evil and saying creepy stuff like Faberry FanFic Freaks…Klaine Sucks FYI.”

Maybe Agron should consult Selena Gomez for some stalker advice! Since the incident, the actress has received an outpouring of support from fans, who have reprimanded the Twitter hacker. At press time, no one had been identified as the perpetrator.

Lady Gaga's Twitter Account Hacked

Uh oh. Lady Gaga‘s much-used and heavily followed Twitter account has been hacked. The singer, who boasts more than 17 million followers, posted a tweet earlier this morning offering up a free iPad2 to little monsters as Christmas presents. Warning: Do not click the link included in the tweet, as it’s not valid and could cause damage to your computer.

While Gaga is known for being a kind and generous Mother Monster, the idea that she could gift her millions of little monsters and followers with expensive, sought-after new tech gadgets at the height of the holiday season by clicking on a link is as suspicious as an email from the Prince of Nigeria offering you incredible sums of money if you send some first. They’re both obvious web-based scams.

And if you grab a calculator, like one of our savvy PopCrush staffers did, and do the math, if Gaga bought each of her followers an iPad2, it would cost her $8,538,981,313. Yes, over 8 billion bucks. On the flip side, there’s also no way Apple could stay in business by comping Gaga that many tablets, either. If Apple crumbles, our economy does, too.

The hacked tweet read as follows: “Monsters, I’m giving away FREE iPad2's to each one of you in the spirit of the holidays Go to http://bit.ly/s5MTqM to receive one!”

So beware, monsters. Don’t click the link. Let’s hope the damage is minimal and Gaga’s followers are smart enough to ignore this malacious hacker’s tweet.

This isn’t the first time that Gaga has dealt with cyber problems in 2011. Her YouTube account was suspended this summer and her U.K. website was hacked, as well.

Time to change that password, Gaga! Since Gaga is so communicative via Twitter, we’re sure she’ll have a response in no time.
