SAN FRANCISCO — Anonymous hackers attacked Twitter this week and may have gained access to passwords and other information for as many as 250,000 user accounts, the microblog revealed late on Friday.

Twitter said in a blog post that the passwords were encrypted and that it had already reset them as a “precautionary measure,” and that it was in the process of notifying affected users.

Punxsutawney Phil predicts early spring: Video

WIARTON, Ont. — Canada’s prognosticating rodents are split on whether the country is in for an early spring or six more weeks of winter.

Wiarton Willie, Canada’s most celebrated of all its furry forecasters, is predicting an early spring, siding with Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil — generally regarded as the groundhog of record.

Manitoba’s lesser known woodchuck, Winnipeg Willow, also failed to see her shadow when she emerged Saturday morning, meaning she believes spring is around the corner.

A group of scam victims found out they'll get to go to the big game after all.

San Francisco 49ers fan Sharon Osgood used Craigslist to pay $5,900 for what she thought was three tickets to Super Bowl XLVII.

Instead she got a package with no tickets and a note saying "Go Ravens! LOL!".

This morning Ticketmaster contacted Osgood to give her four tickets to the game and a private reception with former Dallas Cowboy Quarterback Troy Aikman.
