Arrington says the vulnerability was in Google Apps for Your Domain, although the original article about the hack says otherwise:

Hacker Croll claimed to have accessed Goldman's Twitter
password by first gaining access to his Yahoo account.
"One of the admins has a yahoo account, i've reset the
password by answering to the secret question. Then, in
the mailbox, i have found her [sic] twitter password,"
Hacker Croll said Wednesday in a posting to an online
discussion forum. "I've used social engineering only,
no exploit, no xss vulnerability, no backdoor, no sql
injection."
I wonder why the hacker would send the documents to Techchrunch. He could have uploaded them somewhere and then submitted the link to Reddit.
- ErrantX 17y ago> wonder why the hacker would send the documents to Techchrunch The inference I got was they paid for them. BUT I stress that is only what I picked up - not seen anything concrete. Could explain it though.

- trickjarrett 17y agoI wondered the same thing. It's not like TC is going to publicize his hacker handle to get him credit. Seems like a disgruntled employee or user or spammer trying to stir up bad press for them.
