Livejournal Security Issues
January 20th, 2006Hmm… I’m tempted to say how I saw it coming, but I didn’t.
According to the “hackers”, several hundred thousand LJ accounts were hijacked over the course of several months - using security holes in the JavaScript they run at LJ.
On the upside, a feature you used to have to pay for is now free because of all of this - it was required to secure the holes.
