Giuliani Hacked (sort of)

Remember how your 3rd grade English teacher taught you the importance of good grammar? “Let’s eat, Grandpa” gets weird when you leave out the comma. Last week, when tweeting about the G-20 Summit, the former NYC Mayor did not add a space between sentences and Twitter interpreted “G-20.In” as a URL, creating a hyperlink. A prankster noticed that URL was unregistered and jumped at the opportunity. He bought the domain name and created a simple anti-Trump website. Regardless of where you stand politically, it’s always a good idea to look over what you type before hitting that ‘submit’ button! (your 3rd grade teacher name here) will thank you!
