Here is how Dan Wolfe hacked Anthony Wiener's twitter account
Edited on Thu Jun-02-11 12:23 AM by Breathe
That sound you hear is the gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes of conservatives foiled again in one of their little plots. This blogger has pretty convincingly proved that Anthony Wiener's account was hacked, by whom (Dan Wolfe) and when. He even replicated it. It's going to be a lot of fun watching the news over the next couple of days. http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2011/06/weiner-affair-close-to-solution-but-i.html

I posted this link on Huffington Post and it's true what they say about grief. The first stage of mourning is denial.

I am laughing so hard.

When will people stop believing Andrew Brietbart!?!

1. Great find, and an important development.
I just saw Wiener on CNN, saying the young lady claims never to have received the lewd tweet. This is explained by the Cannonfire assessment - an actual tweet was never sent.

2. Well, we can expect Rep. Weiner to announce this "great find"tomorrow, won't we?

BTW, according to all the news reports I read, the tweet was quickly deleted -- before she got to see it.

4. Weiner said he deleted the tweet as soon as he realized something sinister was going on.
But once a tweet has been sent, doesn't it show up in the recipient's twitter account, like when you send an email? I have no direct experience with twitter. But if my assumption is correct, then Weiner could not have prevented her from seeing an actual tweet by deleting the record of it from his account.

8. It is possible to recall an email
I don't know a thing about twitter though.

10. It is?
How?

I know Google has a "delay" function that gives you a few seconds to change your mind ("UNDO SEND").

But once it's sent, it's in the other person's inbox and the sender can't get it back.

12. Recall a Message for Outlook 2007


To recall a message:

Go to the Sent Items folder and double-click to open the message that you wish to rescind.
On the Ribbon, in the Actions group, click the Other Actions button. A menu appears.
Click Recall This Message… A new dialog box will appear.
Verify that the Delete unread copies of this message radio button is selected.
Make sure that the Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient checkbox is selected. If the recipient does not officially open the email before you complete the recall, you will receive a message stating that the Message Recall was a Success. If the recipient opens the email before the recall process is complete, you will receive a message informing you that the Message Recall was a Failure. You must remember, however, that if the recipient is sitting at their computer with the AutoPreview or Reading Pane enabled, and they click once on the new email in their Inbox, it does not show up as being opened, yet the recipient may still be able to read all or part of the email. Under these circumstances, you will still receive a message from Outlook saying that the recall process was a success.
Click the OK button at the bottom of the dialog box.

An email alert will appear in the bottom right corner of the recipient’s screen notifying them that a message is being recalled. If they are sitting at their computer at the time the alert appears, it may catch their attention and cause them to open the email. If so, your efforts have probably been wasted. In most cases, they will have plenty of time to open and read both email messages since both will remain in the recipient’s Inbox until the recall process is complete (usually several minutes).

If you are lucky, however, the recipient will not be sitting at their desk and the recall process will be quick and easy.

Replace a Message

If you want to delete an unread message and replace it with a new copy:

Repeat steps 1 through 3 above.
Select the Delete unread copies and replace with a new message radio button.
Verify that the Tell me if recall succeeds or fails for each recipient checkbox is selected.
Click OK at the bottom of the dialog box. A new editable copy of the sent message will appear on your screen.
Edit the message and click the Send button.

Once again, an email alert will appear in the bottom right corner of the recipient’s screen notifying them that a message is being recalled. After several minutes, the first unwanted message will disappear and the new message will take its place. If the recipient does not open the first email before the process is complete, you will receive a message notifying you that the process was successful. The second message replaces the first and the recipient is none the wiser.

16. I have Outlook 2007. But Outlook Express has recall capabilities too
I use Outlook to manage all my email accounts. It doesn't work for AOHell though. It collects all my emails from comcast, gmail, yahoo etc

3. It also explains why Weiner is now not sure his account was hacked. It wasn't hacked. This is new.
Edited on Thu Jun-02-11 01:24 AM by Monk06
It's layered screen alteration that does not get transmitted
to the apparent recipient. The ultimate false flag op.

9. Big media outlets will not cover this.
Edited on Thu Jun-02-11 08:14 PM by Marr
Their zeal for the scandal will suddenly evaporate if it turns out to be something that makes the right look bad.

11. David Kernell went to prison for hacking Sarah Palin's Yahoo account
I want to see the stupid Republicans responsible for hacking the Congressman's account in jail too.
