1st OpenSocial App Gets Hacked Within 45 Minutes of Going Live!

Published by Lennie Appelquist at 12:23 pm under Google, Web 2.0

Part of me loves a renegade until they hack into my servers and create an email bomb. . . bastards.

Just ran across this great blog: Tech Crunch and a great article written by Michael Arrington

Today there is a story about a developer who goes by the alias “theharmonyguy” and describes himself as “just an amateur” who evidently hacked into the RockYou OpenSocial application on Plaxo called emote.

At this stage I think it is pretty good to discover vulnerability in these apps. Better now than later!

I really like the idea of OpenSocial. I think the cross platform ability of these apps to perform is a pretty nifty idea. This gets me thinking. . . Google didn’t conceive of this idea after losing a bid against Microsoft to acquire a bit of Facebook, methinks. . . Maybe they just forced up the price increasing the (pre) value of Maka Maka. . .

Ah. . . I deviate. . . Oh yes, OpenSocial hackers. . .

When I decided to put a website up I never thought I'd actually get business from it. I started working with Lennie on the design and he understood what I wanted so effortlessly. In no time my site was working for me as I never imagined possible. And when I don't know what I need but know what I'd like to see happen, he jumps in with the latest on marketing and e-commerce tools that we can put in place. I consider Lennie to be a trusted advisor, and key to my ability to reach the people who need to know about my services.
