Security Tip: Type Juggling

[Tip#26] Type Juggling is still very much a problem.

Greetings my friends! Firstly, if you keep track of our schedule, you’ll have been expecting an In Depth email this week… this isn’t that. 😞 I’ve had to bump it to next week¹, so I’ve got a security tip for you today instead. Today we’re covering Type Juggling, which may well prove to be an eye-opener for you!

Don’t forget to check out last week’s tip about Login Logging, it’s been quite popular, and I’ve added a link to example logging code I’ve used on one of my apps.
