WALL STREET - Effects of Bogus Tweets

"How a Bogus Tweet Can Wreak Financial Havoc" PBS Newshour 4/29/2013

Excerpt

CHRISTINA BELLANTONI (Newshour):  We learned last week that a tweet can send markets crashing in a matter of minutes.  How can news outlets protect themselves from hacking?  And how difficult is it to stop something once it goes viral?

We discuss the issue now with two journalists from the website Daily Download.  Lauren Ashburn is the site's editor in chief.  Howard Kurtz is Newsweek's bureau chief and host of CNN's “Reliable Sources."
