This is The Briefing, a ten-minute-or-less podcast of tech news, for the week ending February 2, 2013. In this edition: Twitter and major news organisations confirm that they were hacked; BlackBerry 10 finally comes out to market; and PNG is now more popular than GIF!

For those who missed out what The Briefing is, here’s a blog post explaining the show. Feel free to offer any suggestions, improvements and constructive criticism for our new show.
