Twitter Security: An Oxymoron
February 24, 2009
PCWorld’s Joan Goodchild wrote an interesting article about Twitter’s security issues here. She identifies three potential areas of concern. First, a url shortener can send a hapless user to an unknown and potentially harmful location. Second, she identifies a lack of email authentication. And, third, my favorite: Twitter can be useful those who want to “follow” a person. The addled goose is confident that these three issues do not exhaust the security vulnerabilities. The goose does not directly Twitter, send tweets, or fiddle with Twitter ecosystem tools. Those who follow the goose often want to cook it. Could Twitter users get their geese cooked?
