Twitter Exploit Still Not Fixed
by James on Aug.26, 2009, under Social Media
Sigh.
I wrote another article on Dave Naylor’s blog about the XSS exploit I found yesterday. It seems they’ve made a pretty amateurish attempt to fix the issue, completely missing the massive problem staring them in the face. It seems to be picking up a bit more traction today – I’ve even been quoted by TechCrunch! It’s a bit strange reading my own words back at me in the context of someone else’s article. Neat.

I just thought it would be funny to post a comment from another Dave.
Is rather funny that they think its Dave, but does show the blatant and rather worrying lack of research done by all the tech blogs just to get a few more ad impressions.
The Guardian article really did show the rest up i thought?
