Lily Allen Sells Watch On Twitter

Lily Allen is selling her watch but it's not eBay that she is using - it's Twitter. The singer is a huge fan of Twitter and decided to tweet that she was selling the watch for £3,200. Lily had bought the watch for almost £4,000 but found out it didn't fit.

Rather than take the Swiss watch back (pictured below), Lily posted a message on her Twitter page saying, "I bought it for 4,4000 euros (£3,800) so I'd be making a loss." Nice one Lily!

Twitter has been hacked, with internal security being compromised by a French hacker. Known as 'Croll', the hacker posted screen grabs of his exploits on a French forum to prove what he had been able to do.

The embarrassment was confirmed by Twitter founder Biz Stone, who said that “unauthorized access” was gained by an outside party this week, but only 10 individual accounts were viewed during this unlawful access period.

Since the hack, security has been stepped up and all areas are being looked at to avoid further compromises.
