Ray Allen's Twitter was hacked

[Three34]

That chick looks like Doug Collins.

It's not out of the realm of possibility that he accidentally tweeted a conversation going on between him and his wife, no? Why do we assume he's talking to another woman?

I guess it's possible but Ray seems like a class act.

If it is indeed another woman I'm sure we'll hear something about it down the road.

Exactly.

BTW, for those that haven't caught on, while I do believe that Ray-to-wife, still-in-app is the most logical explanation (which was my personal conclusion from the beginning), I find it disheartening that he is likely lying in a public venue to cover his own ass.

In my mind, it is akin to a child breaking the cookie jar and blaming it on his little sister. No matter that his little sister is still in diapers and the cookie jar was on top of the refrigerator. Sure, by some miracle the little sister could have managed to catapult across the kitchen and up on top of the fridge. Except the broom is still in the pantry, all chairs are still in the dining room and the older brother's chocolately thumbprint is on the lid. And the issue of the infant sister managing to get herself back down from that lofty height still would pose a problem. Logic quickly discounts the sister.

To me, this sounds like another Gary Dodd type incident. Sure, the severity is much different but I could tell from jumpstreet that Dodd was lying to cover his own ass. The problem with the world today is that people are shirking responsibility and not owning up to their actions. Quite a pet peeve of mine.

Also, I find it amusing to watch Ray's athletic supporters squirm a bit. I have no problem with Ray personally but I do find it irritating when sheople overstate his impact and importance in all things Celtic. Bah-ram-eweeeee.

Well, that and it is always fun to launch a shot over the bow of the S.S. Tony Allen.

I tell you what. If I am the owner of Twitter, I am personally inspecting the access logs from the account in question. If I can prove it was, at minimum, Ray Allen's phone, even by mistake, which posted the inappropriate tweet, I am holding Allen commercially liable for the sole reason that he has damaged my business interests by misrepresenting to the public the security of my business and the level of trust my customers can expect from my business.

1. Oauth/token requests expire His previous message to Ticha Penicheiro was approximately three hours prior to the "hack" incident. If anyone uses mobile banking or, heck, even online banking, you know that it logs you out after a period of inactivity.

2. Log-in Credentials As mentioned in a previous post, brute force attacks and simply guessing at passwords would lock up his Twitter account. If anyone has ever attempted to unlock a RAR file via password recovery, you know that the process, even on a quick computer, can take a bit. Go ahead and click on your online banking. Assuming you only have a 6-character password (which Twitter sets as minimum) and you could only use lower-case Roman alphabet characters, you are still looking at close to 309 million possible combinations (26^6 = 308,915,776.) Of course, Twitter allows for both UPPER-case and lower-case AND numbers (62^6 = 56,800,235,584.)

Sure, Ray could have simply made an innocent mistake by sending a text to wifey that he mistakenly applied to his Twitter. **** happens. The problem is that he likely lied about it after the fact, thereby shirking responsibility and causing damage to the offerer of the service. If I am the owner and can prove, conclusively, that it was Ray's phone, I would seek remedy.

No one cares to refute what I have said? Or do you still blindly believe Ray's "My account was hacked" bit?

[TreyAllen34]

i don't think people really care to tell you the truth

[Kefa461]

Ray had some clutch shots on Christmas Day didn't he.........that's what folks seem to care about.....

I tell you, Sebastian Telfair gets dinged for suspended license, speeding and an unregistered handgun-- all victimless "crimes". People were ready to sentence him to the death penalty.

Ray Allen quite possibly caused damage to the property of another through a blurtnat lie and no one bats an eyelash?

Me thinks the hypocrisy in the shallow end of the kiddie pool runneth a bit deep.

Pogue -- I don't usually get involved in stuff like this, but since you obviously need outside validation, I'll respond.

Your hatred of all things Ray Allen is well documented. If you were a little more objective about the man, people might take you a little more seriously. Is it coincidence that you mainly seem to come out of your hiding place when you think there's something to bash Ray Allen about?

Just because you whip out a 5,000-word treatise every time you think you have a bone to chew on, doesn't mean that:
1. people have to agree with you
2. people have to believe you
3. people have to give a damn.

And just so I'm clear, are you saying that people can hack into highly-privileged DoD files, but they can't hack into a little ol' Twitter account? Really?

And lastly, if it comes out that his account really was hacked, can he then sue you for defamation of character? You seem all hot and bothered by the possibility of him "causing damage" to someone's property, but yet feel perfectly within your rights to accuse him of a blatant (or in your words, blurtnat) lie. And you're accusing others of hypocrisy?

Pogue has issues clearly. Comparing cheating to a handgun offense??

I am 50/50 on whether this was hacked. Couldn't someone GUESS HIS PASSWORD? I do tend to think they'd go a little more crazy, though.

I doubt it is towards Ticha, but I did notice in the past that Ray did talk to a pornstar on his twitter...that was in the beginning and I am not sure he knew it was being broadcast over the internet. Here, he probably tried to DM but it didn't work out that way.

[Captain_Caveman]

Why i this thread still here?

It's nobody's business and, by my count, much lesser BS gets shut down all the time. How about locking a topic that could actually affect the outcome of games?

BTW, this is probably a good time to mention that my boy used to smash the wife of a former Celtics player when he was gone on road trips.

Oh, the humanity, lol.

Many people have open relationships.......Ray Ray may just have a 'loose' marriage. WHo knows? Who cares?

As long as he hits 3's and helps get a W....I think he is class.

He's Jesus Shuttlesworth fah cry eye!
