where is the "session fixation" / token hijacking attack graphic? The history of 1.0 and the rush to put out OAuth 1.0a I will always remember. The year was 2008 and us yammer engineers implemented this new best practice auth system. It went live. And then suddenly a few days later someone in the office proved how the hijack was possible.

Why is that relevant. We are at OAuth 2.0. who cares about what's been 17 years ago?
