Wordpress has become a prime target for hackers because of its popularity as a Blogging platform. Those hackers want to take over blogs for search-engine optimization (SEO) of other sites they control, traffic-redirection and other purposes.
Twitter, the micro-blogging platform, has been in the news quite a bit lately (in particular for VC funding ). Year on year, Internet visits to Twitter are up 8 fold. In the past three months, visits have more than doubled and traffic continues to climb, up 60% in the past month. The site ranked #439 among Social Networks and Forums last week and #4309 among All Categories of websites.
