Will Twitter 'Follow' Bug Raise Credibility Questions?
- whakojacko 16y agoIm going to say....no. Maybe some of us on HN laughing at how the engineers could have missed something like that, but the general public probably doesnt care now that its been fixed.
- jwegan 16y agoMany websites have had serious security issues that make this follow bug look trivial in comparison, but they haven't felt any effect from it. For instance MySpace had a XSS vulnerability that added the XSS's creator to everyone's friend list. Facebook has its share of viruses that spread themselves by getting the user to click a link which then causes the virus to send itself to all their friends or write on their friend's walls. None of these problems have seriously effected the sites usage and it won't effect Twitter's either.
