New Google OpenSocial application hacked in minutes

A hacker has claimed to have hacked the first of Google’s OpenSocial application on Plaxo –“emote” — within 45 minutes of its launch.

The hacker, who goes by the alias “theharmonyguy,” said that he has added a number of emoticons to Plaxo VP Marketing John McCrea’s profile. He also claimed to have hacked a number of Facebook applications including the Superpoke app.

In an email to Michael Arrington of TechCrunch, McCrea initially denied the hacker’s claims saying that his account didn’t appear to be hacked. But later he spotted and acknowledged that there were foreign changes made to his account.

By Arrington’s request, theharmonyguy demonstrated his hack technique by adding four quick emoticon messages in a very short span of time to Arrington’s Plaxo account.
