Vine, recently bought by Twitter for $30 million, is a new app that allows users to create six-second video clips and share them on social media websites.Twitter execs \u2014 believing Vine will play a critical role in helping them develop their own video hosting system \u2014 have committed considerable resources to making this happen. So imagine everyone\u2019s surprise when this happened: \u201cYou’re only supposed to be able to upload a six-second clip to Vine\u2014but somehow yesterday sixteen-year-old Will Smidlein managed to bypass that rule and post the whole of Rick Astley’s \u2018Never Gonna Give You Up.\u2019\u201d The author continues, \u201cIt didn’t go down so well with Vine engineers, who very quickly sent him a direct message on Twitter asking him to take down the post, in which he explained \u2018I think I broke Vine.\u2019\u201d If you\u2019re wondering why a 16-year-old would post this annoying, late 80\u2019s classic, then welcome to the time-honored internet tradition of rickrolling. It\u2019s no secret that kids enjoy playing pranks. But, instead of ordering a dozen pizzas to a stranger\u2019s house\u2014which is definitely annoying\u2014now teenagers are reverse engineering complex code to post silly music videos. This seems harmless until you consider the amount of time and money invested in developing and launching new technologies. I\u2019ll say it again: Protect your data.
