Twitter Increases Its Security Measures


What’s one thing at some point or another that all social networking sites have to worry about? Hackers, and if they aren't properly protected, it can very easily destroy their credibility. So how should social networking sites go about protecting themselves from these hackers? They’re very persistent and will eventually find a way around most security measures put in place. 

Twitter has hopefully come up with a solution to this problem; hire hackers to find the vulnerabilities before others trying to hurt the site do. They have recently added hacker, Charlie Miller, to their security team. Miller is known for his ability to hack into Apple products, so Twitter feels as though he’ll be a good person to have on their side and a good asset to their security team. Hopefully this is true because as twitter keeps on growing, more vulnerabilities are likely to arise.
