Over the past number of days a few issues have arisen around Twitter’s security platform. Most of the security “problems” discovered were either minor or required a high level of social engineering. One thing that has been realized and that is becoming common knowledge, is that once you are logged in to twitter, as soon as you visit another web site, that other site can make an Ajax request and retrieve your user profile.
Personally, I believe that this will be one of the features of web3.0*. The ability to have a single login, not having to log in anywhere and your profile will be recognized, etc. (OAuth, OpenID, etc). We could almost say browser-identifiable-security where one browser window (with as many tabs as you want) could be associated with a single account and all websites you visit would know about you and your information. The idea itself is very neat, but brings with it issues around user privacy.
