This morning, my son watched the CSI-New York rerun "Cabby Killer," where the killer takes blogger Reed hostage... and then Reed blogs clues to Mac.
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
