AP fooled by phishing attack

http://j.mp/13XGzfH  (Techcrunch)
   
    The AP Twitter hack which sent the stock market briefly crashing was
    caused by a phishing attack, according to the AP. The news
    organization now says the attack on Twitter was "preceded by a
    phishing attempt on AP's corporate network."
