It's all but official now. There was a possibility the earlier facebook and twitter posts were the actions of a hack, but the company blog too?

PS: I really wish the mods would deign to respons when stuff is getting mass deleted like this. This is quite possibly the most intensely debated story right now, and not letting us talk about it has rather unfortunate implications.

What if the same passwords were used for all there? I think if FB and Twitter were hacked, it's possible the blog was compromised in the same way. Presumably you get access to someone's email, and through the email you get their passwords to various systems. I'm not saying it's what I think happened, or that it's likely, just that you still can't rule out that all three mediums were hacked.
