I would like to hear the reasons for the someone "hacked" his account, when it was sent from his Blackberry?

thats not 100%.....it was sent from twitterberry, which can be on any blackberry, so all they need is his password....

[trail]

what about an option for one of his friends or family?? I'm sure there are opportunities for then to have access to his phone with out him knowing.

If it was not him it has to be someone close to him. Some one that thinks they were helping him, some one that he vented to. JMO though. I have talked to him several times and I just cant see him saying he plays under par. He has to much self pride.

DUDE, you don't even make sense. You asked the question as to why people would say that his account got hacked when the message was sent from his blackberry. I challenged how you knew it was sent from his blackberry and you say that twitterberry is for blackberrys and he's not dumb enough to give out his information?

Shit man, if he gave out his account information would you call that hacking in the first place? obviously not. Someone hacking his account means they probably used a dictionary attack on it since twitter is just about the most unsecure social networking site on the internet. don't believe me, google twitter and hack. As I said before, you can pay money to get a twitter password if you really wanted to and if you didn't know how to perform a dictionary attack on a twitter account yourself.

Oh my god, why am I sitting here repeating myself. How the heck did you all come to the conclusion the twitter messages were sent from his blackberry?

Back to the only fact we know. The message was sent from an application called twitterberry, that's all anyone knows. Now go look up how many downloads of twitterberry there have been and you'll see that he's not the only owner of this application.

[Lucky Strike]

HA! That'll be the day. :D

P.S. The "hacked" option in the poll to me means more than just hacking. At least for me, this option means "anybody but RR who posted in his name". Hacking, in the sense of using a computer to break in, is not necessarily the only option; it could just mean someone got a hold of his password or something and logged in (if that makes any sense).

I guess Shakes is wrong as well.

But in all honesty i really don't think dictionary attack would work, i think that possibly a Hybrid attack would work, but most hackers use would use a Brute Force Attack to get the password because unless you are 9 years old you don't use passwords that are picked out of the dictionary.

The comments were Posted from a TWITTERBERRY application which is blackberry based. Which in my mind, unless they had previous knowledge of his password they would have had to "HACK" the account. UNLESS it was made from his blackberry.

Sorry my english wasn't the "proper" way of stating it, but i was going from what the POLL was made.

I'm sorry that you took offense to a situation i was trying to make light of, but you have never been a fan of the smiles on this board...

shoud've googled twitter and hack as I said before. Twitter allows none-complexity passwords, which drives the behaviour of people using simple passwords. Twitter has been burned by the media because of how suscepible they are to dictionary attacks, and how easy it is to hack an account. Here is an example. Note, Obama's account has been hacked ;)

Oh, and this isn't about who's right and who's wrong. It's about stating something as fact ("the messages came from Ricketts' Blackberry") when there is no proof of that. He may very well have typed it himself for all I know. I'm just making sure people understand that as of right now, absolutely no one knows whether they came from his phone or not. Funny thing is, it could've come from another Blackberry and it could've been him. So that statement proves nothing either way.

So I'm presumptuous for guessing that someone posted these messages from his phone, but you're totally reasonable for assuming he had an easy password, or got hacked?

TwitterBerry is a BlackBerry application for posting Twitter messages, and all of the offending messages were posted from that application. If his BlackBerry was brute force hacked, said person would likely have to be in possession of his BlackBerry.

And if he got hacked, I suspect the hacker wouldn't use his new found access to post mopey, whiny posts (one referring to himself in the third person) about how he isn't getting playing time, and might be on the way out.

The content of the posts, and the fact that they came from a BlackBerry, indicate to me that a friend got a hold of his phone, and posted them. Especially considering that when the "real" Rohan later posted to say those posts were garbage, he didn't say he was hacked - he just said he wasn't the person who posted them.

If you have a different theory, that's fine. But don't talk to me like I'm a crazy person for thinking a friend probably decided to vent about his situation, on his behalf. :D

You are right, I can't confirm for certain that they came from RR's phone specifically. Someone else could have brute forced his Twitter account from their BlackBerry.

How likely do you think that is, versus a friend venting on his behalf, given the content of the messages (I refuse to call them "tweets")?

I think TFC TWITTERGATE has a nice ring to it:D

[BakaGaijin]

It seems a bit odd that the Rohan Twitter posts often use ".........." in the middle of a sentence. After the "..........." there is usually a 'space' and then the next word starts with a capital letter. This seems quite unique. Most people continue in lower case after using "................". This format is consistent for the controversial posts and then non-controversial ones. It suggests the same person typing for all of the posts.

This is a message from Rohan... It was not me who was sending out those messages prior to this one!! I apologise to anyone who was offended!

Everyone likes to formulate their own opinion which is their individual truth. The REAL truth never gets told.... Remember that!!!!

What do u do when your not wanted and someone wants u leave but they wanna try and trade u behind your back then ask u to walk 4 free.. Nuts

What do you not understand about brute force (in this case dictionary) attacks? it can happen on any device, anywhere so long as you can access www.twitter.com (http://www.twitter.com). Why do you say someone has to do it from a blackberry? The posts came from a Blackberry, that doesn't mean the hack came from the blackberry. Heck, you can pay money to have someone retrieve the password for you if you really wanted to.

The irony of all this is I don't disagree with you the tweets could have come from his phone or from a friend. I disagree with the stament as fact that the posts came from his phone. That's all.

[wzhxvy]

Pachuco, so are you saying RR is lying about losing his phone ? I mean if the guy is saying it came from his phone, why are we disputing it ?

Dang, a good point. Has this been tested and confirmed on a crackberry? :D. In order to perform a true test, we need to know which crackberry Ricketts chooses to use.

Then again, it could all just mean that two different people used prescriptive text on two crackberries. Or one person on two crackberries. Or two people on one Crackberry.

So based on this info. He lost his phone, he got a new phone, and started twittering again on twitterberry. If he is really telling the truth, then he failed to change his password for Twitter after losing his phone. And carter is right, he really should have a password protecting his phone period. He made it to easy if that was the case.

That he wrote some and someone else close to him did not "hack" but rather had approved access wrote some of the others. Which ones were directly RR is not clear, but knowing how his crew operates, it would not surprise me if this is how it happened.

^ Agreed on Rohan, but personally when I get pulled over I either say nothig, or say it like it is, I never lie. Stupidest thing you can do to a cop is lie. If you are in shit and you want to fight it, say nothing.

[jloome]

I bear no ill will towards Rohan, but this is the only logical thing to believe.

Ask any cop who has ever worked on a beat or pulled anyone over. A cop will tell you that no one ever admits they were wrong, or screwed up. Always they come up with some screwy story. Always.

Actually dude, some of us are positively overflowing with humility. I said "I'm wrong" about a million times a week.

Of course, I rarely am:D

What is going on here? What exactly did Ricketts say that has everyone pissed off?

[jloome]

What is going on here? What exactly did Ricketts say that has everyone pissed off?

It's earlier in the thread lower down on this; this is the continuation thread. Basically, he twittered about being ticked at a lack of playing time and at not being wanted, but not being allowed to move earlier in the season because they wanted something for him.

Nothing shocking but probably tactless given his precarious squad status.

Well since Jloome doesn't tell you the whole story, I suggest you read both threads if you want to be caught up. Ricketts by the way has publicly said he didn't twitter what JLoome just said he twittered ;) take it for what it's worth, take your side :)

[Carter]

Lord, the naivete on this board sometimes. He wrote them. He wrote them all. If you don't get that, you're straining logic and credulity. What, someone who both knows TFC well enough to dislike Rohan Ricketts just happened to find his phone, and just happened to twitter about not getting enough playing time?

:rolleyes5::banghead:

I love how you quoted my post and made the naivete comment, did you even bother reading what i was right about? I was right about the fact that if it was his phone it should have been password locked.

But whatever, I loved Rohan to start, but his song and dance is getting tiring.

I'm not naieve either, i was just posting for fun and even said that to Pachuco earlier in the afternoon, but Mr. I'm always Right Logic, has to come in a break up our fun, way to derail the fun thread......... :rolleyes:

[Auzzy]

Unfortunately I neglected to copyright the term "Twittergate" for the Ricketts affair. Used it first today, May 26, 2009 - 02:56 AM on the GoTFC forum. Lucky Strike used it later, at 12:23 pm, but now he's gonna get all the fame & glory. Oh well... :-)

(Actually, just googled Twittergate, lots of people have used it for a long time, so I probably owe royalties to someone else...)

Still wondering though why Ricketts doesn't just delete the messages that supposedly didn't come from him. Not sure if you can do that via Twitterberry, but he could just access his account via twitter.com on the web and delete any of the posts he doesn't like...

[Ossington Mental Youth]

im a fan of ricketts but i have no doubt he sent these out and him and management have agreed to pretend like it didnt happen.
I feel for the dude but i also feel quite certain this has done nothing for his stock in other teams eyes, should they hear about it

[Ossington Mental Youth]

i still believe he will be leaving shortly

Yea... Rohan has been hacked... And I am an Astronaut... You can;t be serious...!!!

is there a possibility that his account has been hacked?? For sure...

the question you need to ask yourself Why would someone hack to his account start posting messages,which were a few and almost conducting a concenversation(i believe "the hacker" aka rohan checked this site and saw the bashign and posted a comment on it on his twitter berry... Why ta heck would a "HACKER" do that... if somebody hacked him they would probably have put something ransdom or some advertizement... The fact that" somebody would hack his account to talk that tfc doesn;t want "rickets" is beyond me. Same with the parents/ friends why would they do this? why would the hack into the account...
Rohan just noticed that he FUCKED UP BIG time so he decided to cover himself up... If you believe this guy then i wouldn;t be surprised if you still believe in SANTA.
.... Unbelievable you guys are just something else...

Your post is something else. Guess you don't know much about the hacking business that is made ever so easy by the wonderfull world of the Internet.

#1. The hacker and the poster are rarely the same people in these situations. Pay $20 bucks and believe me, you can get someone's twitter password if you wanted to. So the question is, why would someone pay a very small fee to fuck with Ricketts. Well, I can think of lots of TFC fans around here that would do it to get a kick out of it.

#2. It took me 30 mins to hack into my wife's hotmail account a few years ago when she lost her password. Guess what? I'M NOT A HACKER. So how did I hack it? I googled it, downloaded HACKING software and followed the instructions. No different then buying something at Ikea and putting it together when I got home. You don't need to be technical to hack something now a days, just need to learn how to google.

Lastly, I'm on the fence as to whether he sent them or not, that's because I have no proof either way and no scenario makes sense to me. But for crying out loud, if you are sure he sent them, then atleast come up with a more thought out reason then that.

I have to agree with you.

Why would someone want to hack into Rohan Ricketts account? And post those kind of things? Why not post something like "I hate TFC trade me now" or "Fuck off Mo"? Why speak so vague the way these posts were written if you are trying to fuck over a guy by hacking into his account?

I think he got over emotional and started twittering BS, came to his senses, realized what he did, and then tried to back peddle.

I have friends who text, msn, email BS when they get over emtional (drunk), I'm sure this was one of those situations with him. He was over emotional (maybe not drunk) about what he was reading over the boards and started twittering.

As for if there is anything to read into this whole situation; that I can't say. We all remember the NY trade bs over the break.

[ChrisLav]

I'm doubting his account was hacked since he complained about playing time today at practice to the Fan590. They mentioned it at the 2:00 update, and just had audio from Rohan at the 4:00 one.

[Stryker]

Does anyone honestly think at this point that Ricketts will be a solid contributor for this team in the future? I mean really?
The Twittering, the self promotion, the horrible play.
So worn out his welcome with me.

[Chevy]

+1. I think he's done.

[Pachuco]

Ok Guys, here it goes. Just heard a brief Ricketts interview on the Fan 590. He was complaining about not playing his position in practice. He even said there are guys who are aren't as good as him taking his spot in practice, sounded really frustrated. At this point, I have no choice but to believe there is no conspiracy theory, Ricketts sent the Twitter messages himself. I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt, but now it's time for me to take a side. I mean, he just threw other players on his own team under the bus.

Also, The Fan followed up by saying Ricketts has no idea at this point how long he'll remain with the club.

I think the Ricketts era is over. Ricketts for Goldwaithe, make it happen Mo.

[wzhxvy]

He is being an emotional biatch right now...up and down...saying crap and retracting, back and forth. He needs to be put out of his misery.

[TorontoBlades]

heard it too. I was suspicious and even more so now. If it smells like a duck, and walks like a duck....

Again, I cannot express how disappointed I am in him. He definately has the ability yo be our best player if he played to his potential, but it's safe to assume he'll never hit that potential - at least not with out club. He need to play in Qatar where no one understands him and visa versa...so this way he can focus only on his game.

[Batman]

yep...when he's melting down on the radio...what's the chance the whole twitter thing was a hack. That would be one of the world great coincidences.

He sent it, and he regretted it. (or maybe he's trying to simply force the issue about getting out of town.
either way it wasn't a hack.
No doubt.

Unless of course the hacker found a way to clone Ricketts. In which case it was the hacker who practiced and bitched for him :eek:

I don't know, I'm expecting Ricketts to come on the radio any moment and say guys that wasn't me. That wasn't Rohan "Rolling Out of Town" Ricketts making those statements to the Fan.

Rohan Ricketts.... go see whats poppin' somewhere else.... if anybody is dumb enough to sign you, that is.

[Batman]

I'm not going to criticize him. He's probably got a f*&^ of a lot going around in his head now. He's gone from thinking he was a star in this town, to now feeling he's completely unwanted by the team. That's got to be traumatic.

Everyone has their moments. It's too bad his are so public. But being in public is definitely part of his schtick.

Good luck to him and thanks for the effort. I wish it had worked out better for all concerned.

I expect Mo will find a move somewhere in a few days.

That sounds pretty damning. During this thing, I've been of the opinion that there was no hacker, it was Ricketts lashing out all along. This makes it seem even worse. I really feel for him because this has happened everywhere he's gone and he does good charity work and gets involved in the community, but what I really care about is his performance with the team, which hasn't been there. And now, he's complaining about it really bitterly. Maybe stuff like this is why he doesn't last very long everywhere he goes?

Shame about all of this for him, but he's doing himself no favours.

[TorontoBlades]

I'm expecting to get fed some more today... I think he has something more to say... #1 becaus ehis blog is susally a copy from the TFC website and he's promoting it on his own blog (maybe it's over analyzing here) and #2 he hasn't wrote anything over 140 characters in 3 months...

If you've seen Goltv's game preview interview with Ricketts it becomes blatently obvious that it was he who made all the twitted comments.
He's pissed off and suggests that it he won't play regardless of how hard he works because other players are favored over him.

Your skills are all but gone and you're a sideshow attraction at best now Ricketts, stop pointing the finger at everyone else at take a long hard look in the mirror.

[ua-kozak_TFC]

Rickets is a MOron.. and this "good guy" that he is feeding the media is just a show, to get attention. The attention that he has been getting in toronto he woul;dn;t have dreamed off in england... Yes he goes different events and such but so does every other player. The stick that he;s been getting isn;t because he's a media whore but because he isn;t a good player on the field... he doesn;t have soccer smarts. And that GOL TV Interview shows the type of "good guy" he is... He is deservedly out of the line up... Can;t wait till we ship him to NEw York for a pile of cones we'll get more use of them on the field than of rohan...

[rocker]

If you've seen Goltv's game preview interview with Ricketts it becomes blatently obvious that it was he who made all the twitted comments..

ya, I was willing to give him the benefit... but he basically says the same things in the video interview.
Now, he may have spouted off to his buddies, and one of them wrote the twitter stuff (they got his back!) but nonetheless... there's too much consistency between those twitter comments and what he says on video for it to be a hack or whatever his excuse was.

i still like him as a player, even tho he's so inconsistent. I like him for depth.. we need it for the long season. But if depth players start mouthing off about not playing, then what's the point of depth? Might as well get a guy out of college who's just happy to be here.

Notice how he only denies having said that he thought he was much better than his teammates and not having written the Twitter comments?

Not that that was what you were accusing him of, at least not in so many words. If he's unhappy at not playing, it implicitly means he thinks he should and for what reason? Because he thinks he deserves so because he's better than at least one guy on the starting XI.

Checkmate, Rohan.

WOW, I guess I WAS right. Someone DID clone Ricketts and speak for him on the interview I heard on the Fan 590. Geeze. You'd think he would've secured his body in a way that it couldn't be cloned. Next time you lose your head somewhere Ricketts, you should secure it with a password so no one can take it over.

[The Kingpin]

Sorry, I haven't been on top of this in any way. Are people suggesting they don't want players on the team that have a burning desire to play - and that it frustrates them when they are not playing?

So after seeing Wynne started as a forward for a second game it becomes clear what Ricketts was talking about when he alluded to others playing his postion who didn't belong there.
Ricketts really needs to take a lesson from Sutts on how to carry himself with class in these matters.

Very true indeed.....you don't here a peep out of Sutton on his situation. I am sure he is bummed about the lack of playing time, but he does not say a word. There are certain ways to go on about things and closed doors is best.

MLS: Ex-Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur winger Ricketts twits about on Twitter in Toronto (http://lesrosbifs.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/mls-ex-arsenal-and-tottenham-hotspur-winger-ricketts-twits-about-on-twitter-in-toronto/)

There’s been fun and social networking games in Toronto this week after Rohan Ricketts found his Twitter feed getting a little too close to the edge.
First, let’s put things in context. The former Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers winger was a first team regular under John Carver last season, his pace giving the Canadian side a major strength in their first MLS season.
A poor start to 2009 saw Ricketts dropped and with the resignation of Carver and the appointment of Chris Cummins as coach, Ricketts found playing time very hard to come by.
