Twitter's response may not have been all that effective. But it's a helluva lot better than Web-2.0-alikes MySpace and Facebook who's attitude to this sort of thing is to pretend it isn't happening.

A few more nails in the cofin of Twatter and the rest of Web 2.0.

Anything that hastens the demise of this inane drivel is a good thing.

Come on. One XSS is bad enough. But if they had coded the website properly it owuldnt take half an hour to fix it. And then go over the website again looking for any others. (That second part takes longer)

It just shows that the Twitter Admin team dont have a clue at all

See? Should have stuck with Ruby.

Some people questioned Mikeyy's sense of responsibility after the first worm, but were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Promptly releasing more worms is perhaps the greatest shooting-self-in-foot moment since nominating Sarah Palin for VP.

<- even she would know better.

If Mikey did that here he'd find himself locked up but instead he gets employed!

No justice.

More lumps of squidgy FAIL

You people don't understand, Twitter is a worthwile, exciting service, I'm sure if I didn't have a life of my own I'd want to borrow someone else's, or if I thought I was really, really, important and exciting then I could share my wonderful life with people who aren't as fun as me.

In the same vein, you can't expect them to consider things like XSS, after all this particular hack is really hard to exploit and has only been around 5 minutes..... ahem.
