Twitter has been in the news a lot lately, firstly about their patent filing regarding the pro-active scanning on the web for malware and then the bug bounty going live – which is related to this story. This is a pretty neat Twitter vulnerability that was discovered by someone taking part in the Twitter bug […]
So the Twitter bug bounty program is now official, they are actually paying – and not a bad amount too. A minimum of $140 for a confirmed bug with no defined maximum. This includes the Twitter website itself and any sub-domain (mobile, ads, apps etc), and the official mobile apps for iOS and Android. It’s […]

This is certainly an interesting acquisition and not one I would have expected, I’m not even exactly sure what Twitter is planning and why they would want a company focused on mobile encryption (and specifically on the Android platform). I can’t see any real corporate use for Twitter, so they won’t be pushing the security […]
There was a bit of a buzz on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 when the NBC News Twitter account was hacking and started posting updates regarding a repeated terrorist attack against ground zero.

They posted an update on the status […]
Twitter has come under attack fairly frequently in recent months, which is not surprising considering the explosive growth of the platform and the sheer number of users it has.
