August 26, 2009 Filed under: Social Media

Yesterday, various people pointed out that a bug had been found in Twitter that could  hold the potential for malicious exploitation. Last night, Twitter attempted to fix the issue and today, David Naylor, who initially discovered the exploit, has pointed out that Twitter have not fixed the issue.

If you are using Tweetdeck or a similar app to manage your tweets, you should be OK, but if you are using the website, take the advice offered by the experts:

  • Unfollow anyone you don’t know or don’t trust
  • Do not log in to the Twitter website until this is resolved
  • Retweet this!
