Hey, look: Ashton Kutcher's Twitter account was hacked in the name of Internet justice. Someone broke into his account and posted the tweets above. (Judging from their messages, they probably used the notorious "Firesheep" application, which makes it easy for anyone to hijack other people's unsecured browsing sessions over wi-fi.)

The point the mysterious hacker(s) was making is that many of our favorite web applications, like Twitter, don't use high-security ("SSL") encryption to protect their data by default. This makes it easier for people to snoop on users for nefarious means, like tracking down Middle East protestors. Facebook recently enabled SSL, to the praise of human rights advocates and consumer groups.

Kutcher's at TED right now, so he's probably been the victim of some well-meaning nerd. Very noble, but it seems like a waste of a chance to screw with Ashton's 6 million plus followers. Why not start a fight with Justin Bieber, at least? We're guessing Ashton's in on the prank...
