Goodbye Summer, Hello FAIL

It’s the first day of Autumn, and no, I’m not planning on a tweet about it…

Anyone checking twitter.com this morning was probably greeted with a mess of JavaScript, mouseover effects, and spam retweets, after a flaw in the site’s handling of hyperlinks allowed attackers to inject scripts into Twitter’s pages.

Payloads ranged from the harmless—tweets with a black background—to the more malicious—redirection to porn sites.

I’ll just stick to blogging for now.
