I never liked sausage, anyway

I deleted my "sausage meme" posts.

I should know better to click on mystery meat in a tube casing. Apparently, it exposes a security hole that may allow someone to acquire your lj password. You may wish to change your password if you've used that meme yourself.

The password thing is an urban legend. It uses your cookies so it never directly gets access to your password.

The fact that it is able to automatically post to your LJ is definitely a security hole, though. It pissed me off when I tried it, and I immediately deleted the post.

Well, what kind of security hole is it?
