Thread: Security Bug in Google Buzz

Google has recently launched Buzz a social networking venture. It was very soon infected by spammers also. Spammers have already begun to use Google Buzz to post messages of their interest. It is very soon compared to the twitter getting infected by spammers. Spammer have become smart this time said an analyst. The new concern is a security loop hole in Google Buzz which the hackers can exploit. According to a security expert, there is a common error in web programming which could allow hacker to take over Google Buzz accounts.

Robert Hansen CEO of SecTheory termed it as a medium sized problem in the Buzz for Mobile website. He was the first to report this issue. The error is called as cross – site scripting flaw. It allow hackers to put in his own scripting code into the web page.

Every new Google applications looks attractive but I guess Google Buzz is not up to the Google standards.
