I saw this on Twitter. This may be how twitter jackers jack twitter accounts from people? You think?

Or keyloggers/rats. Just saying.

You realize that some people offer a twitter jacking service. You request a twitter username and they jack it. Keylogging/ratting the twitter is highly unlikely as you can request almost any twitter name and they can get it.

I personally think this should be taken care of as say they get there hands on a page, lets say a huge band with 1 million followers.

They can simply make up some bullshit about a new music video and such and suddenly have a botnet of 100,000 at least.
This does not only effect rare twitter names or known figures on youtube but the everyday computer user as well.

It would be pretty cool to get your hands on a nice twitter name, but a security hole is a security hole and it should be fixed.

I need to get in contact with some Twitter Jackers.

Really I thought Twitter was good on security.

Post a thread in the HF Marketplace Discussions about needing a twitter jacked. You will get some replies, and PMs.
