An article by Kate Freeman appearing on the Mashable.com website.
This article discusses a recent subpoena request seeking information on two Twitter users whom allegedly hacked into information from the Boston police department. The subpoena was leaked to the media, revealing what information was requested.
The article states, "The subpoena requests “available subscriber information, for the account or accounts associated with the following information, including IP address logs for account creation.”
The article further explains, "It’s possible Twitter does host some personal information about the owners of the accounts who tweeted the hacked materials. At the very least, it might have IP addresses. However, Twitter doesn’t verify identities or email addresses of its users, so using Twitter for detective work might be more harmful than helpful to an investigation, especially if the subpoena is leaked. We contacted the Boston District Attorney’s Office and are waiting for a reply."
