Ok, sorry if this question seems amateurish, but I don't quite understand this exploit. I went to my twitter page and it automatically posted a tweet, tried to send DMs etc. A lot of weird stuff was going on so I closed the tab immediately and looked for information on this.
Does it mean my account is somehow affected or is it just someone in my timeline who posted this exploit?
Edit: Maybe 'affected' is the wrong term. After reading the article again, I think this code just has to be in my timeline to work. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
download any non-web client (i suppose even mobile one will work, but non-javascript one), and remove all the messages that were posted by that script.
use non-web clients for reading and posting tweets for next day or two.
to be on a safe side, avoid using web version of client for several days, at least until it all gets figured out by twitter guys.
