This might finally push twitter to use something like oAuth. I predict they will launch it by next week and it will be required by every third party app.

- mtw 18y agoexplain to me how oAuth would have prevented this? there's no indication that the attack was using a third-party app
- evgen 18y agoIt would not have prevented this, but by jumping on another tangentially-related bandwagon the Twitter folks probably figure that they can distract everyone from the real problem and get ahead of the curve on credentials and authentication for the third-party ecosystem that is starting to develop around twitter.
- maneesh 18y agoyou make it sound like an episode of 'The West Wing,' I think that they will spend more time trying to solve their actual security issues than trying to distract from the problem
