Over the weekend, WIRED editor (and former Gizmodo writer), Mat Honan was viciously hacked.
The hacker was able to wipe his iPhone and iPad and access both his personal Twitter account and Gizmodo's Twitter account.
Honan wasn't really at fault either, Apple was. The iPhone maker's Apple Care support let an individual reset Honan's password over the phone, resulting in a domino effect that quickly ruined the writer's weekend.
