The Lt. Governor of Nebraska, Rick Sheehy, has decided to call it quits, following an investigation into his use of a state-issued cell phone.

An Omaha World Herald investigation, found that Sheehy made about 2,000 late-night phone calls to “women other than his wife.”

Gov. Dave Heineman stated Saturday that Sheehy had broken his trust, but would not elaborate on that statement.  Also adding that he would no longer support Sheehy should he continue his campaign.  Sheehy was not present at the press conference, and the Associated Press reports that his state cell phone has been disconnected.

A spokeswoman for the governor’s offices said they are investigating whether Sheehy will need to reimburse the state for the phone calls.  Heineman has already started searching for Sheehy’s replacement.

Hackers have compromised social networking super-giant Twitter, a scenario that the Post is all too familiar with.

Twitter officials say that as many as 250,000 of it’s more than 200 million active user accounts may have been compromised.  Twitter, in a recent blog posting, says attempts to gain access to user accounts were detected this week.  Twitter’s techies were able to shut down one attack moments after it was detected.

However, it was later discovered that attackers may have indeed gained access to it’s user’s data, including usernames, email addresses and encrypted passwords.  Those users affected have been sent an email advising them that Twitter has reset their password, and provides them with a link to create a new one.

Other notable breaches affecting U.S. media and technology companies have occurred in recent weeks.  System breaches were reported by The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal as well.  The hackers are believed to be based in China.
