Its now 2015 and we’re all living in the future! Our world has become a place where invisible intangible things (like APIs) have become rather important in our day-to-day lives. This morning while staring at my PC with sleepy eyes, details of a security vulnerability at www.moonpig.com popped up in one of my social media feeds linking to this article. The post itself was fairly negative towards Moonpig, along the lines of “I will never use their service again because they fail at security.

So in the last couple of weeks a newly discovered computer security exploit was found - hooray! Something we thought that was safe, trusted, tried and tested over a very long period of time has turned out to be flawed. It’s in the media, the sky is falling and people that use the internet are scared about things they do not understand! Customers are frantically emailing companies to ask if they are safe, and how safe safe actually is.
