TweetDeck Hacked

redletterdave (2493036) writes TweetDeck, Twitter's tool for real-time tracking and engagement of posts, was found to be vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS), a type of computer vulnerability commonly found in web applications that allows hackers to inject script into webpages to access user accounts and important security information.
