“Just after noon on Wednesday, CNet’s Carolyn McCarthy reported that Twitter and others had pulled OAuth support because of a security problem in the spec. “In the interest of online safety,” she wrote, “CNET News has chosen not to make the details of the security hole public.” McCarthy was at FOOCamp as well and may have heard about the security issue then, but decided to more or less respect the wishes of the developer community and hold off writing about the issue at all until just before the deadline lifted. If that was the case then she both won accolades from involved parties for her discretion and got a lot of pageviews for jumping deftly on the story after the threat had mostly passed but before others wrote about it.”
