Submission + - Twitter spoofing fix fails in UK and Germany (h-online.com)

Submitted by ddfall
ddfall writes: An earlier claim that Twitter had fixed the spoof SMS messages issue has been proven not to apply to the UK and Germany, where an attacker with nothing more than the phone number of a mobile phone associated with a Twitter account can send faked messages that appear as a tweet from the victim. In testing at heise Security in Germany and at The H Security in the UK, we were able to create faked Tweets, such as this for @heisec and this for @honline, using nothing more than a SMS sender faking service.
