Security researchers devised a new Twitter attack that they say could spread virally. The attack is an innocuous proof of concept that forces users to send out a predetermined Twitter message. The hack is similar to a clickjacking attack that was making the rounds on Twitter last month. Twitter could disable the attack by fixing the cross site scripting flaw, but if another similar bug pops up on the site, users would be faced with the same problem all over again. Twitter’s security practices have been in the spotlight lately as the service has gained mainstream popularity.”]
