API keys have been reset
January 25th, 2008
If you access Jaiku using third-party applications, you might have noticed that the apps you use are displaying a message asking you to sign in with your API key. Here’s why: a Jaiku user recently let us know about a security vulnerability in an iGoogle gadget developed by a third party. The gadget was exposing user API keys in certain instances, and while we haven’t seen any reports of malicious use, we’ve pulled the gadget down and are working with the developer to correct the issue. We’ve also reset all Jaiku API keys to restore the security of accessing Jaiku using third-party apps.
To get your new API key, go to http://jaiku.com/api. And, as always, please exercise caution when sharing your API key with third parties — don’t share it anywhere you wouldn’t be comfortable sharing your password.
