What hashtags are common or popular in the IT Security world?
#infosec and #security are the two main hashtags I'm aware of.
Depending on what you're interested in there are other less popular hashtags. For example:
There's also the option to use multiple hashtags in your search. If, for example, you are interested in Android security, you can search for "#android AND #security".
It all depends on the type of content your are posting. In most cases you will need more than one #Tag for your tweet to make the right sense and ranking.
