Today we have been made aware that Twitbin, the twitter client for firefox (we wrote about twitbin here ), fails the most basic password security tests. The problem is that it stores your username and password in plain text in a browser cookie. This is very bad practice.

Thanks to YABFOG's post for making us aware of this.

It is recommended that you uninstall Twitbin until such time that they provide proper security for your credentials.
