Twitter Exploit Still Not Fixed

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.

  1. Shame they think its Dave and not you lol!

    At least you can be satisfied in the knowledge that you could have destroyed Twitter :)

  2. 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?

  3. Great post thank you, I have also sent this to twitter hope it helps you with traffic.

  4. Love the blog…people are missing out not using Twitter more

  5. I can’t wait to see how Twitter turn their brand equity and traffic into money.

    If I were them, I’d come up with some sort of Adsense-like program with revenue share to the Twitter page owner and sell small and tasteful banner ads on profile pages at a cost per impression and a cost per click.
