Comment on Who is derGeruhn, account that 40,000 Tweetdeck users involuntarily retweeted?parentComments−bri3d12yNo - the DDoS is against a completely unrelated set of sites (Evernote and Feedly) via a completely unrelated mechanism.This XSS is simple and it isn't like the code isn't in the tweet - all it does is expand the tweet on TweetDeck, click "Retweet", and pop an alert.I wish writers would at least consult someone who knows how to read code before trying to speculate on stuff like this.
