Twitter Hacked opens popups,causes Mess

Twitter,one of the Most Famous Social Networking microblogging site apologised to its millions of users after the "mouse over bug "raged through the site ,opening pop up windows in browsers to Pornographic sites and Automatically generating tweets from accounts.

All these started with a 17 year -old Australlian school boy Pearce Delphin ,holding a twitter name of @zzap whose mischeif activity caused a mess to twitter .Delphin admitted exposing a security flaw in twitter which was then pounced upon by hackers ,affecting thousands of users and caused inconvinence to users for five hours .
He tweeted a piece of "mouseover" javascript code which brings up a pop up window when user lands their mouse over it.He thought it would be fun ,but this idea was soon smartly undertaken by  Hackers who made a code to redirect users to pornographic sites and create "worm" tweets that are capable of replicating.

It affetced the users who logged on to site leaving the third party users like Tweetdeck or other feeds.Hackers made the code which fits in the limit of Tweet 140 characters. According to security software maker F-Secure Corp., the shortest virus so far was just 22 characters long.

This effected some millions of users and even white house press secreatry ,Mr.Robert gibbs ,before Twitter engineers pathced it up.A simple Mischeif caused a mess for five hours .
