Obama's Twitter gets hacked.

Twitter, the $20m funded startup from San Francisco was hacked over the weekend. Over 30 high profile accounts including Barrack Obama's were compromised.  Developers have found numerous holes in Twitter's code. Rather than notifying Twitter, one person decided to exploit the insecure code. Problems with authentication, session state and scalability have been addressed for the most part but more problems keep coming up, that's the way some of these Web 2.0 sites are. There was even a post on Network World recommending IT Pros sign up for a Twitter account to stay informed with news feeds. Surely the IT Pros can take care of themselves on Twitter, what about everyone else? Another potential service for the enterprise is Yammer. They have a viable business model in that if a company wants to provide a higher level of security for their employees, they pay $1/month per user.  Let's see, save a dollar, get hacked; pay a dollar get peace of mind. I wonder if Yammer comes with a service level agreement.
