Grad Student Uses SSL Exploit Against Twitter Service

Monday, December 21st, 2009

A vulnerability in SSL + Twitter ?  Say it isn’t so!  More pleasingly, a Turkey student uses Twitter’s own service to text him back the compromised text, UNENCRYPTED!  Wow.  You know, there’s not much Twitter can do about this.  After all, they didn’t come up with SSL.  But I wouldn’t be surprised if the federal government comes in and mandates certain security provisions on Twitter.  Couldn’t you classify Twitter as too big to fail?
