Meanwhile... in real time, Ty, the teenager with the popular Ty's iPhone Help website, is tweeting about the FBI and hackers who took down Ty's website a fews days ago.
The hackers deleted everything on Ty's site, redirected traffic to porn, then tried to access PayPal money.
Hackers beware: Ty's tweets are getting serious:
Social media in action. Are you watching it unfold? I'm betting the hackers are, too.
Note: Ty's site has now been forwarded to his Twitter page.

Don't you just LOVE hackers?
...and the real world tough business lessons high-tech teen entrepreneurs learn when this happens.
If you look at the video, you'll see -- Ty seems like he took it better than most older adults, looking at the one big upside: a chance to upgrade the website.

I loved this post. It's a great example of how advanced the kids are today. I've experience a hack attack on a client's site and it's really no fun at all, but often the result is a more secure site lots of cool features like Ty says.
What a great case study of a kid using social media to start and grow a business too! Thanks for sharing.
As a 27-year-old who doesn't understand how to Tweet (that's the verbage for Twittering, right?), I loved this post. Thanks for the insight into it. I know I have to get on the Twitter bandwagon.
I also wanted to give a shout out that I love the premise of this blog. Limiting what I have to say to only 93 words would be an ultimate challenge. I think I typed more than that in this comment. Either way, I think it's great!
Great write-up, I am a big believer in commenting on blogs to inform the blog writers know that they’ve added something worthwhile to the world wide web!.. Buy Youtube Services
